Chargers News: NFL Writer Has Ultimate Confidence on the LA Offense Bouncing Back
Excitement is brewing among Los Angeles Chargers fans as we approach the start of the new season, with just one more week left until the Chargers hit the field for their first official game.
There's plenty to look forward to in the upcoming season, and a significant focal point will undoubtedly be the offense. While many familiar faces return, the arrival of new offensive coordinator Kellen Moore promises a fresh perspective.
Moore is expected to bring the offensive firepower that the Chargers lacked in the previous season, and fans are hopeful that this addition will propel the team to new heights. Optimism is not confined to the fan base alone; experts like Sheil Kapadia of The Ringer have ranked the LA offense as sixth-best going into the new season.
This widespread optimism stems from the belief that the Chargers possess all the essential elements to dominate their opponents.
From a personnel standpoint, the Chargers are mostly running it back, and they should get a boost from the return of left tackle Rashawn Slater after he was limited to three games due to an injury last season. With Slater back, the Chargers will go into the season with what looks like a top-10 offensive line. Herbert has plenty to work with: Rookie first-round pick Quentin Johnston joins a group that includes wide receivers Keenan Allen and Mike Williams, along with versatile running back Austin Ekeler.Moore spent four seasons as the offensive coordinator of the Cowboys. If we isolate the plays where Dak Prescott was on the field, Dallas performed like the second-best offense in the NFL in terms of EPA per play during that span, so Moore has directed efficient offenses before. And Herbert has quarterbacked efficient offenses—the Chargers were fourth in offensive DVOA in 2021. Herbert has a capable coordinator, offensive line, and supporting cast. The pieces are in place for the Chargers to rebound.

In 2023, all eyes are on quarterback Justin Herbert, who has emerged as the team's cornerstone.
With a solid core, the Chargers are poised to elevate their performance to the next level. The 35-year-old coordinator appears well-suited for the task at hand, and there's a sense that everything is falling into place for the Bolts.
While success is never guaranteed in the NFL, Charger fans have every reason to expect a transformative season ahead. Anything less would be a major letdown, but if Moore can deliver, Los Angeles should be well on its way to achieving its ambitious goals for the season.
The stage is set, and anticipation is building as fans eagerly await the kickoff of an exciting new chapter in the team's history.
