player. 13. The San Diego Chargers are going to be much better than people think in 2016. They had a lot of injuries to key cogs in the wheel on both sides of the ball. On defense, it became harder to stop teams as the season went on with the injuries at CB.
<p>On offense, quarterback Philip Rivers held it together for a time but missed WR1 Keenan Allen. His ability to move the sticks on third down could have allowed the chargers to keep the ball longer. And that part of the Chargers’ offense will be back with a healthy Allen.</p>
<p>The Chargers will also have the vertical game going with speedsters like Travis Benjamin. Melvin Ingram and Joey Bosa with get after the QB and the CBs will be healthy on defene. All the Chargers need is a versatile, playmaking safety to replace Eric Weddle.</p>
<p>Jamal Adams is such a player that can come in and do all the things Weddle did for the defense. He can play the run in the box, single-high, cover man to man and be effective. The AFC West should be on the lookout for the Chargers with Adams in 2017.</p>. S. LSU. Jamal Adams. 7
