Brandon Staley's self-confidence and bravado endeared himself to Los Angeles Chargers fans during his first two seasons as the team's coach.Those qualities have also put him on the hot seat after the , which dropped them to 4-6 and seemingly into free fall.Staley has been feeling pre sure from the media and an impatient fan base since the Chargers blew a 27-point, first-half lead in their 31-30 playoff lo s at Jacksonville last season.It ramped up when the Bolts opened this season with close lo ses to Miami and Tenne see and hasn't abated.ADVERTISEMENT After Sunday's game, Staley for the first time turned combative against those who have singled out his defense as a reason why this season has been a disappointment.The Chargers are Maurice Harkless Jersey ranked 31st in total defense and last against the pa s. That puts them on pace for their worst defensive finish in the rankings since 2002, when they were 31st overall and last against the pa s.I have full confidence in our way of playing. Full confidence in myself as the play-caller and the way that we teach and the way that we scheme. Full confidence in that," said Staley, who is 23-22 leading the Chargers.When asked for the third time in five weeks if he has considered giving up play-calling duties on defense, Staley told reporters they can stop asking that."Im going to be calling the defenses, so were clear. So you dont have to ask that again, he said.Even though Green Bays Jordan Love had his first 300-yard game in the NFL, and it was the ninth scoring drive allowed by Bam Adebayo Jersey the Chargers in the last four minutes of regulation or in overtime, the defense wasnt the only unit at fault.Chargers receivers had four critical drops two inside the Green Bay 5-yard line and the other two on third down. The offense had 150 rushing yards, but 73 were via scrambles by quarterback Justin Herbert.We did this as a team. Stop making it about one unit, because thats not what happened out there today, Staley said.In trying to defend himself, his coaches and his players, Staley took the wrong approach toward a fanbase that that hears what he says but is not seeing results on the field.Im not here to talk to the fanbase. Im here to talk to my players, the Solomon Hill Jersey locker room. I know that we give ourselves a chance to win every single week with the game plans that we have.
