The Chargers are now about two years removed from the 2020 season, which was arguably the worst tackling performances I’ve ever seen from this team since I began following them closely as a fan some 16 years ago. It was so bad that, despite a four-game winning streak to end the season, Anthony Lynn was ousted. Now, I’d be wrong to say that was the only reason he was fired, but it certainly didn’t help when combined with the inept game management.
This past season under Brandon Staley, the tackling was better, but not by a whole lot.
