Jim Harbaugh

Oh, now they wanna listen to Ol' Shaky.

After Chargers took a surprising L, Arizona Cardinals head coach Jim Harbaugh says he wishes he played his starters more in the preseason.

Take a listen to this.

Yeah, I mean, th- we made some preseason type of mistakes, you know? And, uh, you know, I...

I think the defense specifically at linebacker is better for them as well, but you're going to get the most motivated version of the Los Angeles Chargers.

That means a Jim Harbaugh that is going to be so dialed in, playing so aggressively, looking out for blood.

I love the Chargers laying six and a half.

This is classic to me.

Yeah.

And all you have is Jim Harbaugh talking about when it's all said and done, he's going to be the greatest quarterback who ever played the game.

I get it.

You want to glaze your players and make them feel good.

And he's mobile.

I get all of that.

But him and Jim Harbaugh, it's like, all right, I got it.

He's about to be the best ever.

Anytime anybody else returns a kick for the Chargers, it's better.

I even went back to the 2024 season, the first year where Jim Harbaugh was in LA.

Loviska Chenault was averaging like 32 yards per kickoff return.

Naeem Hines has done it well.

This offense needs – little bit more help than that you can't start the chargers at the 15 or the 17 or the 19 every time and ask them to go 80 yards to score all the time against the texans against the broncos because against the chiefs they could barely do it against the cardinals

yeah you want to get as many hidden yards as you possibly can and having a positive kickoff return Allows you to be two first downs from field goal range, essentially.

And I don't know how aggressive Jim Harbaugh will be with Cameron Dicker and attempting 60-yard field goals or whatever.

But it's just such a cheat code.

You beat them at home.

I think most people thought the Giants would be better just because Jim Harbaugh's there, because their young guys are healthy, because they did the right things in the offseason.

The Chargers you're talking about.

No, no, no, the Giants.

So funny enough, Overreaction Monday is a Rich Eisen thing, yeah? And I watched Rich Eisen's Overreaction Monday and he had two points and I've combined the two points together on what I think is the overreaction because I loved what he said because it kind of just emphasised what I was doing.

They were talking about Jim Harbaugh and they said Jim Harbaugh and Matt LeFleur are already on the hot seat.

And I said, oh, I kind of like that, but they're not.

They're really not.

And another team that got upset suffered arguably a far worse upset than Dallas, where the Chargers went to the playoffs last year and lost to Arizona, which is regarded as one of the worst teams in football.

And Jim Harbaugh said yesterday that he regrets not using the preseason differently and getting his players that they're depending on to win games, some reps in some of these games.

And I wonder if the Cowboys might rethink their position in that regard too.

But the defensive performance was just awful.

The highest rated Sunday night opener.

in about eight years for the Cowboys and the Giants and the debut of Jim Harbaugh.

And then Monday night, the return of Patrick Mahomes and the return of showing Taylor Swift 18 times in the suite for the Chiefs win over the Broncos.

Mahomes back from a knee injury.

the Chargers really surprised me how bad they played.

Like, I was watching Red Zone a lot on Sunday, and so I watched a lot of the game, and they just didn't look like a Jim Harbaugh coach team.

Or John.

Which one is
