“Surge or Static?” Preseason Week 1: Rookies shine in first taste of the NFL

Man, it felt GREAT to watch the Chargers take the field last night against the Rams for their first preseason game of the year. The energy was awesome, the players hyped from the jump, and the coaching staff really seemed to be on point throughout the night.

Both the offense and defense stood out on several occasions. Plenty of rookies wasted little time in announcing themselves to the NFL. However, that little ol’ third phase of the game named “special teams” was a blatant low point for the team on Saturday night.

I’ll be honest and say that kick coverage was actually pretty good.
