Green Bay Packers: 5 Burning Questions about the Chargers
By Paul Bretl
What is the best part of this Chargers team?
Tyler: Defensive line. Melvin Ingram is finally back from injury, which means the world to someone like Joey Bosa. Bosa is on a tear to begin the season, and has only been better in recent weeks. There’s not a more dynamic one-two punch on the team, and their depth pieces have come on strong lately. Unfortunately, the team is still waiting on its first-round draft pick, Jerry Tillery, to make a consistent impact.
Takeaway: David Bakhtiari and Bryan Bulaga have had to go through a gauntlet of edge rushers this season including Khalil Mack, Everson Griffen, Von Miller, and DeMarcus Lawrence to name a few. And this week, it is going to be another tough challenge with Bosa and Ingram. Yet the dynamic duo of Bulaga and Bakhtiari have given up a combined three sacks and just five quarterback hits. As always is the case for the Green Bay Packers, the name of the game is keeping Aaron Rodgers upright and they will once again have to bring their “A” game.
As far as the running game goes, Green Bay may want to avoid running outside of the tackles where Bosa and Ingram will be and instead attack the middle of the field. As I mentioned above, the Chargers are struggling against the run, giving up roughly 123 yards per game and they will be without their starting defensive tackles.
