Justin Herbert Defends Offensive Coordinator Amid Struggles

Justin Herbert, the starting quarterback for the Los Angeles Chargers, has stated that the blame for the team's offensive struggles lies with the players rather than new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel. Despite predictions from coach Jim Harbaugh that Herbert would become the greatest quarterback ever, the team has faced significant challenges this season.

Herbert emphasized that the offense must take responsibility for its performance, noting that players are failing to execute their roles effectively. He acknowledged that while McDaniel has been instrumental in creating opportunities, it is ultimately up to the players to perform their tasks, including blocking, catching, and throwing.

Herbert expressed appreciation for McDaniel's coaching, highlighting his leadership and expertise. He reiterated that the team's winless record is entirely the players' fault and stressed the need for the offense to unite and improve execution to turn the season around.
