Chargers Kimani Vidal Calls Out Offensive Line: We Need to Protect Justin Herbert Better

Chargers running back Kimani Vidal is urging the offensive line to improve their protection of quarterback Justin Herbert, following a tough playoff loss to the Houston Texans. Herbert faced pressure on nearly 40% of his dropbacks, took four sacks, and threw four interceptions in the game. The offensive line, which includes rookies and players like Rashawn Slater and Zion Johnson, struggled in the playoff game, despite performing well earlier in the season. The line also dealt with numerous injuries last season, forcing 29 different combinations. Coach Jim Harbaugh and Vidal both emphasized the importance of protecting Herbert, as his success is crucial for the teams future wins. Vidal has shown improvement in his pass blocking, and he believes that the line needs to step up to help Herbert thrive in the playoffs.
