Summary
The Chargers’ defense soared under Jesse Minter, ranking top ten in points allowed and even No. 1 last season—thanks to a disciplined, secondary-heavy system. Now, with Minter gone and Chris O’Leary taking over, continuity is key. O’Leary knows the system and the roster stays intact, but the real test is linebacker Daiyan Henley. His explosive rookie year was followed by a dip last season, and shaky run defense—including a brutal Jaguars game—points to pressure ahead. With Henley entering his final contract year and Denzel Perryman aging, the Chargers are banking on him to rebound and become their defensive cornerstone. If he does, he could be looking at a massive payday—and a legacy-defining season. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
