The Chargers wrapped up the San Diego portion of training camp, and there was plenty to take away before the team heads out. The Ramirez Brothers break down why Justin Herbert appears to be ahead of schedule in Mike McDaniel's offense, what he has seen from Herbert's command of the system, and why the quarterback continues to build momentum.

They also dive into the latest on the left guard competition as multiple players continue to battle for the starting job, explaining who is getting reps and what the coaching staff is looking for as the competition continues.

On the defensive side, they discuss the aggressive mentality that has stood out throughout camp, how Chris O'Leary's unit is attacking the football, and the players who continue to make an impression.

Don't miss this full Chargers training camp recap with analysis, observations, and the biggest storylines from practice.
