Quote from Chargers Chief Coach Brandon Staley
Staley in Lombardi:
“I’m very excited about Joe coming here. The wealth of knowledge and experience he has, having operated on one of the NFL’s main offensive systems for over a decade. Do you think about the relationship he has with Drew Brees – one of the greatest defenders of all time who have played the game – and have a front row seat for that relationship. of the best coaches – that experience is priceless. He has a tremendous family, is a guy who is great at winning the respect of his players and is someone who has a lot of ideas about what this Chargers attack should, and will continue, moving forward. “
Staley on Hill:
“The wealth of experience that Renaldo has, both as a player and as a coach in this league, operating at the highest level as a player, playing for some tremendous franchises – and then as a coach, being in our system with [Broncos Head Coach] Vic Fangio and the kind of work he did with Justin Simmons and Kareem Jackson. It is a rare combination. He was instrumental in making Justin [Simmons] an All-Pro and one of the best in the game – operating on one of the best systems in professional football. He’s a guy with whom I have a great personal relationship and a guy who has great experience to help our team succeed. “
Staley in Swinton:
“Derius has tremendous command, is a great teacher and has the ability to see the game in attack, in defense and through the game of kicks. I cannot emphasize enough that he is a great teacher, fundamentally, both from an offensive and defensive point of view. We’ve worked together before in Chicago, which I obviously value immensely and, even more importantly, he had the advantage of having been with one of the top coaches in the league’s special teams at Jeff Rodgers. In addition, situationally, he was instrumental in helping the Cardinals with managing the game; it’s something I’m really excited for him to bring to the Chargers. “
