Chargers vs Dolphins Preview
The Chargers received good news this week when it was announced that running back Melvin Gordon would join the team, ending his extended holdout for a new contract.
It was initially reported that Gordon would not be playing against the Dolphins, but he’s expected to get at least limited work in.
“I’m good, man,” Gordon told the media this week following his return. “I didn’t really get to gauge myself like I wanted to, but like I said, if they call my number [I’m ready]. I’ve been grinding. It’s not like I’ve been sitting around and I’m coming in overweight or anything like that. But it’s not like I get a preseason game to get warmed up. You kind of get in and get right in the fire.”
While the Chargers are just 1-2, the running back position has not been the problem. Austin Ekeler filled in and leads AFC running backs in yards from scrimmage. Justin Jackson is averaging 7.9 yards per carry.
Head coach Anthony Lynn is ready to put the Gordon saga behind them and focus instead on revving up their season after the slow start.
“Absolutely we are disappointed,” said Lynn. “But our expectations (and) our standards have not changed. We have a lot of football in front of us and we’re looking forward to it.”
While the Chargers got some good news, the Dolphins have had next to none since the season started. The roster was purged and the lack of talent on the roster has shown. The latest walloping came at the hands of the Dallas Cowboys last week 31-6.
Second-year QB Josh Rosen drew the start last week, but ineffective due to the constant pressure he was under. He had just 200 yards and no touchdowns behind his makeshift offensive line.
“Sooner or later I think we’ll get some consistency going,” Rosen told reporters when asked about his line. “We’re just trying to find the best spots to put guys in.”
The Chargers are respecting Rosen, who has been put in a few tough situations to start his career. As the starter last season in Arizona, he played behind one of the worst offensive lines in football.
“We faced him last year and he put the first ten points on the board so we know he can throw it,” said Lynn. “He has arm talent and he’s a good young quarterback but he’s going through some growing pains right now like most do. But if you give him a chance to beat you, I’m sure he will.”
The Chargers are 14.5-point road favorites for the game.
