Chargers’ offense is yards better but so far that’s somewhat pointless

LA Times  

Entering Monday night, only four teams had gained more yards than the Chargers had through the first two weeks of the season. “We’ve got a lot of guys on offense who have played a lot of football in the NFL,” coach Brandon Staley said. “But they haven’t played together.” The Chargers are operating a new scheme under a new coaching staff and coming off a preseason in which many of their starters didn’t play for the sake of safety. “I think that’s coming together as an offense,” Staley explained, “and really understanding all the details of every play and the continuity that it takes, the chemistry that it takes to truly score the ball like we’re capable of.” The issues on Sunday in a 20-17 loss to Dallas included the struggles of reserve right tackle Storm Norton, who was beaten several times, particularly by Micah Parsons, a linebacker playing defensive end. Staley called Norton’s performance “a little up and down.” In the Chargers’ season-opening victory at Washington, Norton played better and with more consistency.
