## Resource

The Chargers defense struggled mightily in their opener, surrendering big yards and failing to stop Jacoby Brissett. The secondary took the brunt of the criticism, but the real problem lies with the defensive line—unable to generate pressure like last season, they’re leaving the secondary exposed. Against the Raiders, the key is getting interior linemen like Caldwell, Tart, and Eboigbe to disrupt the pocket; with just eight pressures in the opener, the team needs to fix this fast or risk another rough stretch.
