Jason Kelce Calls Out Fans After Video Goes Viral of Chargers' OL Giving Up Sack on Justin Herbert

A highlight of two Arizona Cardinals sacking Justin Herbert—while three Los Angeles Chargers offensive linemen block one player—went viral following Sunday's 26-14 win for the Cardinals.

But former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce didn't agree with the people online who were trashing the offensive lineman involved.

"A lot of people showing they actually have absolutely no idea how protections work or what the offensive line is responsible for on any given play," he wrote on social media .

He then further broke down how the Cardinals disguised their blitz and the ensuing chaos:

"They were blocking the five guys on the line of scrimmage to start, two of those guys dropped, the right guard applied back when his guy looped out to the tackle, the center applied left when his guy dropped," he continued . "The left guard is blocking 'his man' with the other three as a result, he could have redirected maybe a touch sooner, but the blitzers were already well past him. It's also a five-man protection, so unless Herbert pulls a crazy call out of his ass because he knows for sure this blitz is coming he's going to be hot. If the call was a sort to the left, even though the center's guy was head up on the line, which we have done, that could speed the left guard redirecting to one of the blitzers, but they still would be hot from Budda [Baker]. You could argue the left tackle should squeeze this because it's five-man protection, but again they would still be hot."

In other words, Herbert should have had a hot route ready to hit when he sensed the blitz was coming, allowing the opportunity to get rid of the ball before the blitzers reached him. But either he didn't get the ball out in time, the receiver didn't run the hot route or it simply was covered and Herbert had to take the sack rather than force the throw.

Any way you slice it, the play looked bad. But it perhaps wasn't bad for the reasons people thought, even if the team's offensive line wasn't exactly great on Sunday.
