During last week’s game against the Arizona Cardinals, I noticed a big difference from last year’s preseason games: the backups can actually move the ball without Philip Rivers under center.
It was almost excruciating at points last year when Rivers got done for the night and Kellen Clemens or Cardale Jones was set to finish out the night for the Bolts. The offense couldn’t complete a pass while the run game was still pretty abysmal.
Enter the 2018 preseason.
Clemens is no longer with the team, they added Geno Smith from the Giants, and the team is still kicking the tires on Jones as a project.
