Postgame – L.A. Chargers

T Terron Armstead

(It’s pretty amazing that you were able to start and play the game. What was that experience like for you?) – “Just happy to be back out here with the guys, get a chance to compete, being back on the field with my brothers.”

(How restricted did you feel with the strap?) – “Some adjustments, nothing crazy, though. Nothing crazy. Nothing to really remark about.”

(Was the pain tolerable?) – “Yeah, yeah. I was able to manage. I had to do little things different, play more with my right side. Adjustments that we make kind of week-in and week-out really.”

(What was the process like several hours before the game, going back to Saturday, just deciding that you’d be able to go?) – “Man, just been working around the clock to get back on the field. Was able to go. It felt good moving around, being back out there with the guys playing the game I love.”

(What do you think about the offense’s performance? What do you think needs to be different or better?) – “We struggled. We struggled. Hats off to the Chargers. They did a really good job. They kicked our butts. It was hard to get a rhythm. A lot of times offenses like to get that first first down and then you can kind of get into a groove after that, but we had a lot of three-and-outs, struggled on third down, too. Kept our defense on the field too long. So a lot to work on. A lot to improve, but nobody’s hanging their heads or getting discouraged. Confidence isn’t lost at all. We’ve got a game Saturday.”

(What do you think the Chargers did defensively that may have took you guys for a turn if at all?) – “They did some things different than they’ve done all season really. You go back and watch the tape, they game plan really well. They tried to get real wide with their edges to set the edge, a lot of d-line movement, a lot of pressure from different spots – more than they have all season. That’s a sign of respect for an explosive offense. We just like I said, we couldn’t get that rhythm going, get that first first down and roll from there.”

(Back-to-back losses on the West Coast. What’s it going to take now, short turnaround, you play Saturday night at Buffalo?) – “Back to work. business as usual. Lock in, lock in on the details. I think that’s what we’ve got to get better at more than anything – the small things, the details, alignment, assignment – so we can play fast. It doesn’t change – it changes from approach, we’ve got to get back in the win column, all those good things – but we’re still right where we want to be.”

(When you say “rhythm” in terms of last week’s loss, is this is a different kind of rhythm that you need to get into or do you think it’s more of a constant rhythm that you have to find in order to change this trajectory?) – “That’s a great question. Last week we had some similar moments – three-and-outs are tough because that puts your defense right back on the field. You’re not able to get opportunities to make plays. Three plays and you’re off the field. Their offense tried to keep our offense off the field and it kind of worked out in their favor. Time of possession I’m pretty sure was one-sided. So those kinds of things. You get some first downs and you get more opportunities; you get a chance to get into that rhythm for everybody, for every position.”
