One of the focal points for the Chargers this offseason will be adding a speed element to the wide receiver room.
At his introductory media availability offensive coordinator Kellen Moore was asked about the importance of speed to what he wants to do on offense.
“Speed is always dangerous,” Moore said. “You’ve certainly seen this throughout this league, and when you have speed, it’s certainly an advantage.”
Los Angeles could not create explosive plays in the passing game this past season. Injuries were a factor, as was Joe Lombardi’s scheme, which was predicated on quick and underneath throws, and Justin Herbert’s ability to go through reads quickly.
However, ultimately they did not have enough speed at receiver even when Allen and Williams were on the field.
With the tantalizing arm talent that Herbert has, there’s no excuse to not be pushing the ball downfield.
Herbert was among the lowest in average depth of target. While Moore was the Cowboys’ offensive coordinator, Dak Prescott had the seventh-highest average depth of target in the NFL (8.3 air yards per attempt).
That is why it’s imperative the Chargers address this in the draft.
