The Chargers have been emphasizing a surprising group in practice so far.
Football is a multi-dimensional game that sometimes gets overlooked. Many only focus on the offense and defense in games but it's the third tier that can dramatically change everything.
Special teams are something that often gets forgotten but is a crucial part of success. The Los Angeles Chargers understand this under new head coach Jim Harbaugh and they have been working on building it up in practice."The Bolts spent a good portion of Wednesday's session working on special teams circuits. The first chunk of practice focused on punt protection and coverage.
Harbaugh understands how to win football games and building the special teams up is the way to do it. They want to win at all levels of games and special teams can be a way to make that happen.has been working to handle the new NFL kickoff rule. Los Angeles has been beefing up practice space to make sure they aren't thrown off when the games start.
"Later in practice, the Chargers worked on the new kickoff format by focusing on both coverage and returns. The NFL altered the kickoff rule this offseason with the biggest change being where players on both sides of the ball line up. A new-look setup zone features a cluster on players on both sides, with a returner back deep in the landing zone, which is from the 20-yard line and in."

Harbaugh has his guys gearing up for the new season and this extra focus should make a difference.Matt earned a Master of Science degree in Sport Management from Louisiana State University in 2021.
