The Chargers have become infamous this season for the number of high-profile players out with an injury. Though none of the true impact players (sorry Sean Culkin) outside of Dontrelle Inman are expected to miss the season, their absence has helped put the Chargers at 2-3 to start the year. Would one of their key defensive pieces, Derwin James, have made the difference between this record and being 5-0?
James’ impact, in regards to football snaps, is solely on defense; so, unfortunately, No. 33 can’t fix turnovers on offense, missed kicks, or touchdown-removing penalties.
