ESPN NFL analyst Ben Solak has named Joe Alt and Rashawn Slater as two significant red flags for the struggling Los Angeles Chargers. Despite starting the season with a weak 0-2 record, the criticism is primarily directed at the team's offensive line rather than quarterback Justin Herbert or head coach Jim Harbaugh's decisions. Solak noted that both Alt and Slater have appeared to be playing through injuries, hindering their performance on the field.
The analyst pointed out that the Chargers' offensive line has been plagued by issues for the past two years, with the team opting to take a cheap, one-year deal for Cole Strange in an attempt to improve the situation. However, this decision appears to have only exacerbated the team's struggles, with Alt and Slater currently playing below their usual standards.
As the team continues to battle, it is clear that improvements in tackle play will be crucial for the Chargers' offensive success moving forward.
