Running back JK Dobbins had a great day in his debut with the Chargers and believes he can do even better.

“I think I can be much better, you know?” Dobbins told reporters on Friday via NFL.com. “We’ll see. If I can get those long runs back, I’ll take it to the crib.”

Last week, Dobbins managed 135 yards on just 10 attempts, an uncanny average of 13.5 yards per attempt.

He managed 107 of these yards in just two runs – once for 61 and once for 46. In the victory over the Raiders, he also scored a 12-yard touchdown.

Dobbins has always been incredibly good when healthy, with his average rushing rate at 6.1 yards per carry. But it was a knee injury in 2021 and a torn Achilles in 2023 that ended his career.

As a rookie with the Ravens in 2020, Dobbins had 134 carries for 805 yards, an average of exactly 6.0 yards per carry.

If he keeps it up, the Chargers could be pretty good under new coach Jim Harbaugh.

“We’ve got a lot of room to improve,” Dobbins said. “We didn’t start well — made some stupid mistakes, got some penalties, some false starts — we just need to focus. Great teams don’t get it until they get it. You see it and you think, ‘Oh, wow, those teams look scary.’ But you see that we have that. We have the tools, we have the talent. We just need to put it all together, and when we put it all together, it’s going to be beautiful to watch.”

They should go 2-0 in Carolina on Sunday because the Panthers are, quite frankly, not good. They face the Steelers and Chiefs next before an early bye in Week 5.
