Chargers' Jim Harbaugh under fire for wrongly blaming players for struggles

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh has developed a sort of reputation over the last year or so of having a sort of offensive line blindness. 

Based on his comments in the aftermath of the win over the Philadelphia Eagles, Harbaugh’s not going to beat the allegations anytime soon. 

It was painfully clear to a primetime audience that Justin Herbert’s offensive line failed him in a big way. Playing just one week removed from surgery on his broken non-throwing hand. Herbert consistently faced free rushers and took unnecessary hits in quickly collapsing pockets. 

Not only was Herbert sacked seven times, according to ESPN’s Kris Rhim, the Chargers offensive line finished last in the NFL in pass block win rate last week at 53.9 percent. Right guard Mekhi Becton was the biggest culprit, finishing as the 52nd-ranked at guard.

One more extra tidbit for fun: Herbert needed to lead the team in rushing, too, carrying the ball 10 times for 66 yards and further exposing himself to injury. 

Asked about the issues, though? Harbayugh went a different route. 

Jim Harbaugh’s comments about Chargers pass-blocking turn heads

According to The Athletic’s Daniel Popper, Harbaugh said the communication while struggling with A-gap pressures "wasn't perfect."

"We can do a better job at that running back position, and we will, of getting that picked up," Harbaugh said, according to Popper.
