COSTA MESA, Calif. -- You might not hear their name called over the speakers during the game or see their name in the stat line afterward, but defensive tackles Corey Liuget and Brandon Mebane are executing the little things for the Los Angeles Chargers inside to help edge rushers Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram thrive.
With a combined 19 sacks and 28 tackles for loss, Bosa and Ingram rightly deserve credit. But Liuget and Mebane also have played solidly inside for the Chargers.
“That’s how it is,” said Mebane, who was voted a defensive co-captain for a second straight year.
