Anyone who had spent significant time around Anthony Lynn knew one thing more than any other would be true about the Chargers’ new head coach — he was going to be resolute.

he’s going to do things his way.,Womens Howie Long Jersey,It took him years to convince the league he was more than just an ex-running back destined to only coach players at the position he played. And now that he’s gotten here

Lynn has proven he won’t waver.,In three consecutive media appearances since the Chargers’ season-opening loss to Denver

After the game Monday, Lynn said the Chargers’ problems in the opener came from not running the ball enough., in his news conference Tuesday and before Wednesday’s practice

called 22 rushing plays compared to 34 passing ones. As a team,To an outsider, it’s a curious opinion. The Chargers, despite never leading, a total inflated by a Melvin Gordon 21-yard gain on the team’s first play from scrimmage.,Authentic Mario Edwards Jr Jersey, they ran for 64 yards

a true believer in the power of the running game,Fifteen of the team’s carries went for two yards or less, again said he thought the team should’ve stuck with it., but Lynn

” he said. “We could’ve stayed in the rhythm of our offense and we started throwing it as little bit too soon. I’ve got to be a little more patient in that situation and stick with the running game a little bit longer and just play with more balance.”,Womens Connor Cook Jersey,“We came out (after halftime) and were down 14-7

The quest for balance is a challenge for any team, it’s particularly a fine line.,Authentic Clive Walford Jersey, but in the Chargers’ case

and at least five pass catchers and a possible Hall-of-Fame quarterback to keep involved.,They have one running back they want to feature

” offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt said. “It’s opened a lot of things for us. That’s what we’d like to do. But you can’t ignore the fact that we have guys like Travis (Benjamin) and Tyrell (Williams) and Keenan (Allen) and our two tight ends,Womens Bo Jackson Jersey,“We all know that when we’ve run the ball here, even our backs who do good job out of the backfield. You just have to mix those things in.”, it’s helped us

A season ago, very close to the ratio Monday. Lynn’s Buffalo Bills attempted more rushes than pass attempts a season ago., the Chargers passed nearly three times for every two rushing attempts

Heading into Sunday’s home opener against the Miami Dolphins, especially considering the Bills rushed for 272 yards against the Dolphins the last time Lynn faced Miami (one of the worst rushing defenses in the NFL at the time.)., Lynn is certainly talking as if he’d like to see the team be more committed to the ground game

Whisenhunt and his players said they felt they were close on a lot of rushing plays — a block here or a missed tackle there away from injecting much-needed yardage to the Chargers’ ground game.

” Whisenhunt said. “And give those guys credit — they’re a very good defensive football team. There were a lot of encouraging things. We did start out in a tough environment and ran it OK. I just wish we could have sustained it a little better.”,“We’ll get those at some point. We have to execute some things a little better

The inability to rush effectively outside of a handful of plays put the Chargers in third-and-long so frequently that Whisenhunt went through the entire list of plays the team had scripted for that situation.

” Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers said. “…We need to get more rush attempts,“Those big ones will come. He’s just got to stay patient. We’ve got to be happy with those four-,Womens Mario Edwards Jr Jersey get more pass attempts. We need to get more of everything. We would’ve been sitting right there at 50-50 if we hadn’t been in that two-minute mode at the end. We’re best when we’re balanced.”,Authentic Connor Cook Jersey, five-yard runs. Those are efficient runs

it’s because he’s been able to engineer successful ground attacks in his most recent stops with the Bills and the New York Jets. And by wanting to make it work,Womens Clive Walford Jersey,If there’s reason to believe in Lynn, Lynn thinks he’ll give his team the best chance to actually make it work.,Authentic Bo Jackson Jersey,historically

” Lynn said. “We didn’t stick with it. …We couldn’t in the fourth quarter because we were behind so many points. I think the running game is on pace and I believe it’ll be fine.”,Authentic Howie Long Jersey, “I thought the run game started out just fine
