Why are folks crying and b**ching about Staley as is he's the HC? He's just a guy that brings new ideas and a different perspective on d to work with a rookie DC for f**ks sake relax people

Crying is all some posters know how to do.

Seriously. Just wait when the draft comes and all the crying comes because people aren't satisfied with pick 31, not a pick in the top 5 but pick 31

Clearly an X's and O's mentor without the role of being a leader in the locker room. No issues.

Chargers' Brandon Staley is polarizing, but his defensive game planning is elite

Just seeing who the author is tells me this will be a good read. Ted Nguyen is literally the only member of the local media who truly knows ball.

In Week 2, when the Chargers' defense was healthy, they held the Chiefs to only 20 points, their third-lowest points per drive average of the season (1.82) and Patrick Mahomes' second-lowest yards per attempt average of the season (6.71). The Chargers played man coverage at the second-highest rate (46.3 percent) of any Chiefs opponent this season, according to TruMedia, and Staley mixed up his coverages effectively to keep Mahomes out of rhythm. The Chargers also confused Kansas City's offensive line in key moments, resulting in quick pressures.

Yup. Plus, if things go south with Sorenson we can just give him the gig. Its very risky hiring a noob to run a championship defense.

I had a hunch this had something to do with this hire. Shanahan sees Mahomes, Reid and the Chiefs as the one true threat between the Niners and #6. I think Shanahan wanted to find someone who can stifle the Chiefs and the fact that Staley had to go against the Chiefs twice a year for however many years he was with the Chargers, means he probably has a good idea on how to stop them.

Wasn't a good HC doesn't mean he is a bad DC.

compare his rookie year to the rookie year of The Great Robbie Gould (whom doesnt have the range the loser has on fgs like in the SB and whim no one else wanted, btw),... then come back with the data.

You may come away surprised.
