Postgame – L.A. Chargers

LB Jaelan Phillips

(On why they called the roughing the passer penalty) – “He just mentioned that the whole rule about the body weight or whatever the case may be, so it is what it is. He called it. That’s how it stands, so can’t do anything about it.”

(Thankfully you guys were able to get off the field there. All the broadcasters and the rules analysts, just so you know, they did say that they didn’t agree with that call. I guess the only follow up that I would have is in general, how hard is it as a pass rusher with the rules as they are established to know what you can do and can’t do, what might get called and what might not get called?) – “I think it’s (unintelligible). I think there’s obviously some egregious penalties where it’s like, ‘yeah, that’s a penalty.’ But I don’t know. I really don’t have much to say. I don’t want to get on the NFL’s bad side. (laughter). But yeah, it is what it is.”

(What did the Chargers offense do that caused some problems?) – “I just think Justin (Herbert) is obviously a really talented guy. I think he played his ass off. They schemed us up well and at the end of the day, I just don’t think we played good complementary football and they beat us.”

(Anything in particular impress you about Chargers QB Justin Herbert?) – “He just has a lot of poise, a lot of accuracy when there’s pressure coming down on him. Super talented guy. Wish nothing but the best for him.”

(What does the team approach need to be especially with a short week and a Saturday game? Obviously you guys want to stop this.) – “I just think we’ve got to lock back in, focus on the fundamentals, focus on just the little details and at the end of the day we can’t beat ourselves so we’ve just got to play high-level football.”

(What’s it going to take on a short week now, quick turnaround, you have a long flight home and then got to go to Buffalo for a Saturday night game?) – “That’s what we do. It’s the NFL. We’re professionals, so we’ll be getting that treatment, work on our bodies and making sure we’re right for Saturday.”
