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.

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,Womens Landon Collins Jersey, he’s going to do things his way.

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

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

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

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

” 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.”,Authentic Lawrence Taylor Jersey,“We came out (after halftime) and were down 14-7

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

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

“We all know that when we’ve run the ball here, it’s helped us,” 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, even our backs who do good job out of the backfield. You just have to mix those things in.”

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

Heading into Sunday’s home opener against the Miami Dolphins, Lynn is certainly talking as if he’d like to see the team be more committed to the ground game, 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.).

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.”,Authentic Landon Collins Jersey,“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.

“Those big ones will come. He’s just got to stay patient. We’ve got to be happy with those four-,Authentic Odell Beckham Jr Jersey, five-yard runs. Those are efficient runs,” Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers said. “…We need to get more rush attempts,Womens Lawrence Taylor 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.”

If there’s reason to believe in Lynn, historically,Womens Eli Manning Jersey, 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,Authentic Brandon Marshall Jersey, Lynn thinks he’ll give his team the best chance to actually make it work.

” 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.”,“I thought the run game started out just fine
