"I really do. It just hasn't gone our way ... we got to get the breaks to go our way."The Chargers (0-8) will forge ahead against the Ravens (4-5) on "Monday Night Football" with the same roster they had ahead of the trade deadline, including Henley, who is expected to face Baltimore.Hortiz pushed back against any narrative that the Chargers were unwilling or reluctant to pick up their phone ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline."I've been on the phone since Week 3 talking to teams," Hortiz said. "They've inquired about players' availabilities. I've said, 'Hey, this player, no, we're not trading.' Would we consider something? Yes, but it would have to be a good package for us to move them. No one put together any packages that blew us away or that inspired us to continue."Hortiz said he did not receive many calls on individual players, but that there was interest in some who he considers core to the Chargers' future and would not consider moving."There were some players that you're just not going to trade," Hortiz said. "I'm not trading Justin (Herbert), right? No one ever called on Justin, but I'm not trading Justin. I'm not trading Ladd (McConkey). I'm not trading Joe (Alt). I'm not trading Derwin (James Jr.). It's just not happening. Tarheeb Still, these players that have futures with us. And a lot of those guys, people didn't call on them."After making back-to-back playoff appearances under coach Jim Harbaugh, the Chargers are in the midst of an 11-game losing streak, including playoffs, dating to last season. They're the lone NFL team without a win this season.Their offense ranks last in the league, averaging only 15.1 points per game, since Mike McDaniel was hired as coordinator ahead of the season. Herbert's total QBR ranks last among qualified passers, as he's throw for six touchdowns with 11 interceptions. The defense also has fallen short, allowing an average of 27.4 points per game, which ranks 28th."Our job is to continue to fight this year," Hortiz said. "But also have a team that we feel that we can go out there and be successful in the future, too. And so to sit here and say, 'Oh, we're having a bad year. We should get rid of anybody,' that just doesn't seem like a smart way to build for the future as well. So you got to look at it this year and in the future."
