Cole Strange’s Big Test Ahead | Los Angeles Chargers News

The Chargers’ offensive line is in uncharted waters as Cole Strange, a pricey new addition, steps into a starting role without competition after injuries forced shuffling. Drafted second-round pick Jake Slaughter moves to center, leaving Kayode Awosika — a former Dolphin with flashes but no proven consistency — at left guard. Strange’s preseason wasn’t inspiring, and his 2023 stats (21 pressures, 2 sacks) paint him as an average guard despite solid run-blocking potential. With the team’s scheme designed to support the interior, Awosika and Strange may be enough — but fans aren’t convinced. Week 1 against Arizona is their chance to prove they can deliver under pressure. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
