COSTA MESA, Calif. -- Los Angeles Chargers center Corey Linsley is among the best in the game at his position. He just does things a little differently.
Watch him. He runs out to the huddle and then turns around, his back facing his quarterback.
"No, he's not lost," said safety Derwin James Jr. "He's already looking at how the defense is stacking up."
The approach makes sense in this quick-to-huddle and quicker-to-snap league. Any edge you can get can pay off, and Linsley says it has. He is one of the few centers in the league, if not the only one, to do things backwards.
