Justin Herbert Fires Back at Question About Chargers’ Leadership
Herbert said the team has not lacked vocal leadership as the Chargers try to rebound from an 0-2 start and fix offensive mistakes.
- On Wednesday, Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert pushed back against questions regarding his vocal leadership during a press conference, asserting that his leadership is "very present" amid the team's 0-2 start.
- Losses to the Arizona Cardinals and Las Vegas Raiders, two of last season's worst teams, left the Chargers at 0-2 with an offense that looked helplessly lost despite being projected as one of the league's best with new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel.
- Herbert hasn't directly answered for his rare outburst Sunday, deflecting with clichés like "I think it's always just about the next play," while Coach Jim Harbaugh defended him, calling the offense's struggles "growing pains."
- The quarterback dismissed concerns about team morale, insisting "I don't think anyone is panicked or worried," and reiterated his expectation that there will be no panic as the Chargers face the possibility of 0-3 and potentially 0-6 at the bye.
- With games against the Seahawks, Broncos, and Chiefs looming, the Chargers face a difficult stretch; Herbert emphasized that "every week is a super important week for us" to correct mistakes, with Week 3 against Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills offering a chance to prove results.
