The Chargers rushed for a meager 1,524 yards last season, more than only two other teams in the NFL. On defense, they gave up 2,478 yards on the ground, the fifth-most in the league.
COSTA MESA — The Chargers’ had two major problems last season, two easily identifiable shortcomings that cost them from start to finish, two aspects of the game that they must improve dramatically in the 2023 season if they are to rise in the AFC West standings and make an extended playoff run.After all, they rushed for a meager 1,524 yards, more than only the Houston Texans and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFL.
It was also why it was a topic of discussion for running back Austin Ekeler and defensive lineman Morgan Fox after Friday’s training camp session at Jack Hammett Sports Complex. As expected, Ekeler and Fox each said the running game must improve dramatically for the 2023 season. Fox, speaking for the defense, said, “I think we picked it up pretty well toward the end of last season. We started playing a lot better against the run. I think now guys are more comfortable in the system, more comfortable with each other, learning to play off each other – who’s going to be where.”
But, for the most part, the Chargers’ roster changes have been minimal. Their offensive line, quarterback and running backs are unchanged from the 2022 season. There was only one significant defensive change, with linebacker Eric Kendricks signing as a free agent to replace Drue Tranquill.
