Chargers Quarterback Coach Shares Day-to-Day Approach With Justin Herbert
The Los Angeles Chargers have gone through a lot of changes this year. Changes that were made to give quarterback Justin Herbert the winning edge as he leads the Chargers to victory.
And for quarterback coach Dough Nussmeier, he believes this guy can do better than what everyone thinks.
In a discussion with Chargers.com, Nussmeier expressed much love for Herbert, including some inside looks at what their day-to-day basis looks like while training camp begins.
"The first thing you see is his detail and how locked in he is to getting it perfect and getting it right. He's a perfectionist, he approaches the game that way every day. Obviously him dealing with his injuries in the offseason, getting healthy so going through that process. Watching his approach, his work ethic and the way he's worked to get his body to where he wants to be to start camp and he's done an outstanding job. Obviously his resume speaks for itself, you've seen the things he's done. Really excited to get an opportunity to collaborate and work in the same setting. We have high goals of what we can do."
There's no doubt that Nussmeier thinks very highly of Justin Herbert, who is predicted to be an MVP Candidate this season. But Nussmeier is still pushing Hebert to be beyond that.
"I think as in anything, you're goal-oriented. You set goals, you set things you want to accomplish but you also have to understand that this level doesn't always go in a straight-line path. That's what makes it so fun, everyday is going to be different in this league, every day is going to be a different challenge. To go through that and then when you have the success that's what I think makes the chase of that success so great."
Charger fans will not be the only ones who'll have their eyes on Herbert. Let's see what he can do when the entire spotlight is on him this season.
