ESPN’s Kris Rhim believes the Chargers will “lean on their running backs” under Jim Harbaugh.

Adding more fuel to the fire of an obvious shift away from the passing game in LA, Ghim says that Harbaugh wants “an offense whose stars are its offensive line.” He also pulled quotes from Chargers run game coordinator and tight ends coach Andy Bischoff echoing this balanced approach sentiment. Actions speak louder than words and the Chargers’ transaction wire is screaming about a run-oriented style as well. This offseason saw them cut Mike Williams and trade Keenan Allen for pennies on the dollar. They have also brought in running back Gus Edwards and fullback Ben Mason from Baltimore, where Jim’s brother John Harbaugh has donned the headset for over a decade. The Chargers will likely add some receiving talent to their roster via the draft, but all signs point toward a bland, low-volume attack in 2024.
