Chargers coach Mike McCoy continues to support running back Ryan Mathews coming into the season. Even though the team signed Danny Woodhead and brought back veteran Ronnie Brown, McCoy expects Mathews to play a prominent role, reports NFL.com.
McCoy said that the running back moves had "nothing to do" with Mathews' shortcomings. It was about building depth behind Mathews. McCoy's expectations for Mathews are clear: "To have a great year and be the guy."
