Part 4/8:
Traditionally, the Chargers have struggled defensively, but this season is a different story. Under the guidance of their new defensive coordinator, Jesse, the team's defense has undergone a remarkable transformation. Davis attributes this improvement to simplifying defensive strategies, allowing players to play to their strengths without overcomplicating tactics.
A shining example of this is Derwin James, a standout safety who struggled to find his footing under previous coaching regimes. With a redefined defensive scheme, James has thrived and has become a game-changing presence on the field. The Chargers boast the number one scoring defense in the NFL, allowing just 17.7 points per game, a substantial improvement from the previous season where they ranked 24th.
