Daniel Wade and David Droegemeier dive into the surprising news that Justin Herbert received an MVP vote at the NFL awards, sparking plenty of debate and even controversy among fans and analysts. They break down the rationale behind the MVP vote, credit Sam Monson for publicly owning his decision, and discuss why Herbert’s value to the Chargers goes far beyond the stat sheet—especially given the adversity he faced with a severely struggling offensive line.
The conversation then shifts to a passionate discussion about the offensive line’s future, with heaps of fan questions around whether Joe Alt or Rashawn Slater should anchor the left tackle position in 2026, how Slater’s injury may affect the Chargers’ plans, and what the team should prioritize in free agency and the draft to rebuild their interior line. The guys also share their ideal offseason moves, focusing on securing a top-tier center like Tyler Linderbaum and emphasizing the need for both proven veterans and promising rookies to solidify the line and, most importantly, protect Justin Herbert.
Throughout, the duo keeps it interactive, responding to voicemails and social media comments, while providing context on why these offensive line decisions are so critical for the Chargers’ future success. The episode wraps up with updates on coaching staff changes and a look ahead to what Chargers fans should watch for in the offseason.
