Omarion Hampton is turning heads at OTAs, and the Chargers might have found their next star in the backfield. Money and Lo break down what makes the rookie running back so special, how the revamped offensive line is built to bulldoze, and why Greg Roman's system could be the perfect fit for the Chargers.

Zion Johnson joined Zach to discuss his reaction to Justin Herbert's record setting contract and his expectations for this season. 

The Los Angeles Chargers are again poised to make a run, but the pairing of Justin Herbert and Kellen Moore has to click. Brian Baldinger of NFL Network joins the show and says the Chargers needed to make a change at offensive coordinator and discusses why he thinks it's a must win season for Brandon Staley. As a former offensive lineman Baldinger breaks down the importance of the Chargers getting Rashawn Slater back and how lucky the team is to have all-pro center Corey Linsley manning the middle. With a lot of moving parts on the line, Baldy also tells Dan and David how switching sides may help Zion Johnson and gives a great Lawrence Taylor story.

Many terrible offensive lines plagued the Los Angeles Chargers in years past but there's reason to believe the line could be a major strength in 2023. One huge factor in the improvement of the line will be the return of all-pro left tackle Rashawn Slater protecting Justin Herbert's blindside. Corey Linsley had some injury issues in 2022 and his health is crucial if the Chargers line wants to reach their potential. Dan and David discuss their confidence in the group and why the transitions of Zion Johnson and Jamaree Salyer should improve the interior. The Chargers will also rely on Trey Pipkins to man right tackle after re-singing him, and the good news is, he was quietly very good last season already.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

The Chargers got major contributions from many of their rookies in 2022, and some of their selections look like absolute steals. Dan and David re-grade every pick from last year's draft class with Zion Johnson and Jamaree Salyer still looking great in retrospect. Salyer and fellow Day 3 pick Ja'Sir Taylor were both playing meaningful by the end of the season and look like insane value. The hardest players to re-grade after year one were Isaiah Spiller and JT Woods with such a small sample size. It would be very difficult to give them great grades after underwhelming results, but it's too soon to say if they can make a leap in year 2. Both of the Chargers 7th round picks from last year Deane Leonard and Zander Horvath even found ways to make contributions, but it's unclear what their role will be in 2023.

All-Time Chargers legend Shawne Merriman is excited for the 2023 season and loves that Los Angeles brought in Kellen Moore to pair with Justin Herbert. Merriman shares his thoughts on Brandon Staley and tells a great story about how he got the nick name "Lights Out". The 2006 Chargers team was one of the best in team history and Shawne tells why he would pick Jamal Williams to add to the 2023 roster if he could. Dan and David also break down Tom Telesco sharing that Zion Johnson will be moving to left guard. The Chargers line is as solid as it's been in a long time, but will need to find chemistry after the shuffling of positions.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

The re-hiring of offensive line coach Matt Applebaum has certainly been divisive amongst Boston College fans. Even after he worked with linemen such as Zion Johnson, Alec Lindstrom, Tyler Vrabel and Christian Mahogany----some of which who have publicly endorsed him, there is still an uneasy feeling about Jeff Hafley's newest hire. We talk about why this may actually work for the Eagles, his time with the Miami Dolphins and more with the potential new offensive coordinators with Mitch Wolfe. Learn more about your ad choices.

Los Angeles Chargers General Manager Tom Telesco may have tipped his hand a bit on free agents Drue Tranquill and Nasir Adderley. Many changes are on the horizon and Justin Herbert will have input on maybe the biggest upcoming change, the new offensive coordinator. Will Herbert speak up about what he wants? One thing he definitely wants back is star receiver Keenan Allen, who Telesco implied isn't going anywhere. The Chargers GM also opened up on his thoughts of the 2022 rookie class. There were some highs like Jamaree Salyer and Zion Johnson, but he said he needs to see big offseason for JT Woods and Isaiah Spiller.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!LinkedInLinkedIn Jobs helps you find the candidates you want to talk to, faster. Post your job for free atLinkedIn.com/LOCKEDONNFLBuilt BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

The Chargers have failed to live up to expectations in 2022, but still find themselves squarely in the race for the AFC West. Even with the loss of players like Rashawn Slater and Joey Bosa, the Chargers still have a chance to reverse a disappointing start. The guys answer fan questions about the rookies and discuss their concern with the lack of playing time for JT Woods and Isaiah Spiller. Has Josh Palmer missed a big opportunity with Keenan Allen missing time?

The Chargers game against the cowboys was brutal to watch, but there were silver linings including some standout offensive line performances. The guys discuss strong performances from Trey Pipkins, Jamaree Salyer and Zion Johnson as well as a poignant message from Brandon Staley. One group that struggled were the running backs. The competition for RB2 is wide open again after lackluster performances by the backs on Saturday. General manager Tom Telesco revealed on the Chargers TV broadcast that the team plans on keeping all three quarterbacks on the roster. Does it make sense to keep three QBs in 2022?Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!DaveDownload the Dave app from the App store right now for an Extra Cash account and get up to 500 dollars instantly.

Chargers running back Joshua Kelley and edge rusher Chris Rumph stole the spotlight in their first live action, showing major improvement since 2021. Several other Chargers like Morgan Fox, Michael Bandy and Breiden Fehoko also made the most of their opportunities. The 2022 draft class also got their first taste of the NFL with Zion Johnson and Isaiah Spiller showing they could be ready to contribute already. It wasn't all good in week one, as some other Chargers learned valuable lessons.

The guys recap a wild 1st round of the NFL Draft. Chargers 1st round pick Zion Johnson. DVR with the latest on Trevor Bauer suspension and the Dodgers.

Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Adam Bittner of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.The first round of the NFL Draft is here! Now it's finally time for the Pittsburgh Steelers to make their selection of who will be the top new player on their roster. Here's two top five rankings on who they're most likely to pick, with Jordan Davis and Malik Willis still at the top. Defensive line and quarterback are still major needs, but how teams pick in front of them could change their NFL Draft strategy. Other key options include Kenny Pickett, Daxton Hill, Lewis Cine, Andrew Booth Jr., Desmond Ridder, and surprisingly, Jahan Dotson.Also, why might the trade up possibility for Kyle Hamilton be out of the question? And should Mike Tomlin and Kevin Colbert consider later quarterbacks like Bailey Zappe? And after the hype about Tyler Linderbaum, shouldn't the Steelers still be looking at him or Zion Johnson in the first round to fix the offensive line?CALL INTO THE SHOW AT 412-223-6644 or if international, e-mail your audio message to LOSTEELERSTOPICBAG@GMAIL.COMFollow Chris Carter on Twitter: @CarterCritiques.Theme music is 'Soul Kick' by Ceddy P, and 'Too Easy' by Nerdboy.
