Chargers' Kellen Moore on WR height advantage

2023-07-03

The Chargers brought in offensive coordinator Kellen Moore to improve a unit that already finished in the top half of the league in 2022, ranking 13th in points and ninth in yards.

One of the ways Moore looks forward to doing so is entrusting rocket-armed quarterback Justin Herbert with taking big shots.

"Justin's such a smart decision maker," Moore said on The Season with Peter Schrager podcast. "It allows you to really call it in an aggressive manner. He does such a great job. We always say, aggressively take what they give us. Like if they give us these shots, they give us something vertical, we got these skill players that we feel really really good about. Just take them. Just go for it. And if not, take the completion. Take the checkdown. … I think the mentality of that has been the way we've been kind of training this entire offseason, and certainly I think we've got the guys to be able to execute those things."
