From the episode

Bucks and Chargers, that was the Tom Brady bucks. And then I believe a early career Justin Herbert season. We're both, we're going to throw every single time. We'll just throw short passes. Like Herbert's like, I'll throw to Eckler every time.

STACKED’s take

NeutralUsage

Herbert's 2022 Chargers threw short passes constantly, including frequent targets to Ekeler.

In 2022, Herbert's Chargers were among the most pass-heavy offenses in the last 20-30 years, with Herbert throwing short passes repeatedly to running back Austin Ekeler as a counter to defensive adjustments; his offense exemplified the extreme passing approach taken by teams facing the new defensive shell coverage.
