Show notes
Los Angeles Chargers fans have plenty to cheer about as safety RJ Mickens emerges as an offseason standout at OTAs. Could his breakout momentum spark a game-changing year for the Chargers’ secondary alongside veterans Derwin James and Tony Jefferson? Hosts Daniel Wade and David Droegemeier weigh Mickens’ upside, analyze his rookie stats, and explore how strong safety depth could help shape Chris O'Leary's defense.
The conversation shifts to roster strategy as the Chargers’ revamped tight end room—featuring David Njoku, Oronde Gadsden II, and Charlie Kolar—fuels speculation about run-heavy 12 and 13 personnel packages under new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel. With pass rush rankings, defensive line upgrades, and potential trade talks for a veteran cornerback, this episode is jam-packed with insights on depth battles, formation possibilities, and whether the Bolts are ready to field one of the AFC’s most feared defensive lines.
