Justin Herbert has carried the Chargers enough and its time for Brandon Staley's defense to pick up the slack. In two year Staley's group has changed drastically and suffered many injuries, but they must live up to the hype in 2023. Dan and David discuss the Chargers potential if the defense is good and why that side has struggled even with stars like Joey Bosa and Derwin James. The run defense has been miserable and big plays have been the team's kryptonite since Staley has taken over. The good news is the continuity and a regression in the injury department should give the defense hope this season.
