Patrick Herbert

And we got to try to figure out a way to force this play to just one individual.

Especially said Patrick Herbert.

I wonder why there wasn't an uproar about that.

I ain't want to say nothing.

i didn't expect at this point for him to be not just the third tight end but firmly the third tight end and one that it just feels like they're not even considering at this point which is just again not what i expected at all and they were very much open to the public saying he's got to learn to be a better blocker gaston says i didn't do well i need to be a better blocker he's kind of getting punished for his ability or inability to block and i i get it i i wasn't i didn't think as it was a first or second round pick by any means because he wasn't much of a blocker but you also have to know what you have so i don't know this one definitely surprised me but we'll see in the regular season if it changed uh the random guy is asking if njoku gets hurt is their main plan actually to have matlock as the tight end three yeah which is kind of nuts.

Now there's of course the Patrick Herbert of it all.

Evans Voboda is on the, on the roster as well.

But yeah, like they designated Matlock to return.

So instead of having 16 players on the practice squad, you get 17.

So with that open spot that Chargers did have, they were able to sign Patrick Herbert, yes, Justin's brother, to the practice squad.

Like I said, if you listen to the new Chargers Weekly episode, Joe Ortiz did talk about Patrick Herbert.

He said, obviously, there's a connection here to bring him over to LA, but he did talk about him being a good blocking tight end.

I think that's something that's going to be needed in this offense.

You have Charlie Kolar, who's a prime example of someone... who's a blocking tight end for the majority of his professional NFL career, but he's going to get some opportunities in this offense to be part of the passing game as well.

So we'll see if Patrick Herbert ever gets called up to the 53 man.

It'll be pretty cool, though, if Justin Herbert can throw his brother in an actual NFL game.

Certainly the first thing that stood out about him was special teams, but watching him grow and develop in our defense has been cool to see.

Brought another tight end, Mr. Patrick Herbert.

Yeah, yeah.

A, it's cool that it's his brother.

Final topic question from the chat that I was also curious about from BZ Rue.

Thoughts on Patrick Herbert? He's Justin's brother.

that's my thought and probably why he made the team as you know practice squad so is it are you saying is this a form of nepotism of

course
