The Los Angeles Chargers were a tough watch on offense last season, as Justin Herbert was sacked 54 times and didn't want to throw the ball all too often.

A run-first offense, the Chargers were boring.

But now, as we look back on their offseason, L.A. has made some big additions, and perhaps the biggest is the hiring of Mike McDaniel as offensive coordinator.

Herbert finally has a coordinator who will get the best out of him and put him in positions to succeed.

For CBS Sports' Zachary Pereles, he loves the creative flow of L.A.'s offseason plan.

“The Chargers' offense was completely broken because the offensive line was completely broken,” Pereles wrote. “Justin Herbert faced a quick pressure (within 2.5 seconds) on 177 dropbacks. So in comes offensive whizkid Mike McDaniel, whose creativity, coupled with the healthy returns of Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt, should open up a world of possibilities.
