“I think it’s just continuing to improve on where we need to and taking what we did well last year and continuing to work on that,”

Herbert said, through Eric Smith of the Chargers’ site.

“Understanding where we fell short, what we need to improve on and taking on that entire body of work from last year and just continuing to improve. I think we’ve got a lot of great film of stuff that we’ve done — route concepts, protections — so guys are comfortable with it. It’s just continuing to get better at that and moving forward.”

Herbert also emphasized the team’s strong mental preparation, noting their progress as crucial to readiness.

“I think we’ve made great strides this offseason. I would say that we’ve gotten a lot better,”

he stated.

“We’re continuing to put in this offense and master and do everything we can to fully understand it. I think from that standpoint, we’re further ahead than where we were last year. There’s a lot of work to do and I think guys have done a great job this offseason of showing up mentally prepared and being focused day in and day out.”

Chiefs Backup QB Gardner Minshew Adds Value to Patrick Mahomes and Team

On another front, Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid praised backup quarterback Gardner Minshew, highlighting his valuable experience in supporting starter Patrick Mahomes. Reid believes Minshew’s past starting experience will benefit the team’s game-day preparations and overall quarterback dynamics.

“He’s been there—he’s started, so he’s got that,”

Reid said during a press conference.

“He’s got the confidence of the guys around him. Patrick knows he’s been in there and done it, so they can bounce things off of each other. It’s always good to have peers that have played, and you can talk to them about it a little bit. I think on gameday he’ll be great with Patrick, just with what he’s seeing from the sideline and what Pat’s seeing when he’s in there.”
