The Chargers gave Justin Herbert a new offensive coordinator in Kellen Moore and two new receivers with their selections in the 2023 NFL draft. And with a tailwind after his standout season last year, the team’s offense seems poised for success come September.
Herbert was asked if Los Angeles’ offense might be more explosive in 2023 with the likes of Quentin Johnston and Derius Davis in their receiving corps, which he answered in the affirmative.
Yeah, I’d like to think so. I think that’s always the goal for an offense, is having those explosive plays, whether that’s through the run game or the pass game. [Offensive Coordinator] Kellen [Moore], he has a great mind. He’s done such a great job of kind of interpreting exactly what he wants for this offense. It’s a clear message for us as an offensive unit of what he’s trying to accomplish.
Moore’s playcalling and guidance will only bring the Chargers so far, though, and it will be up to their outstanding cast of offensive talent to put Los Angeles over the top in the highly competitive AFC.
With Herbert under center and a revamped crew of receivers for him to target, improvement should come early for the team’s offense as they aim to win their first playoff game in more than five years,
