Jim Harbaugh presumably will have a word about that by the time the regular season rolls around. As Faraz so nicely outlined in one of our posts over on Instagram, Harbaugh is likely to bring the run-heavy offense we’ve seen from him and his staff in San Francisco and Michigan to LA in his return to the NFL. The good news for Gus Edwards? His former OC in Baltimore Greg Roman is the new OC in Los Angeles, which should buy him some leeway in the Chargers backfield as a goal-line back at the very least. The role Edwards ultimately fills could end up looking a lot like the one he played for the Ravens these past few years, cashing in on short-range touchdowns but giving way to change of pace and pass catching backs frequently. It’s not controversial to say that the Chargers offense in 2024 projects to have a lower scoring ceiling today than the Ravens’ offense did in 2023, so we could easily see Edwards’ 13 rushing touchdowns from last year regress back to the mean on a less efficient offense –especially if the Chargers look to add a ball carrier in this year’s draft.
