Derwin James, the Los Angeles Chargers' safety, remains committed to his aggressive playing style despite a recent one-game suspension for unnecessary roughness. He acknowledges the need to adjust his tackling technique, specifically by going lower to avoid further penalties and fines, which have totaled nearly $800,000.

James has sought guidance from league officials on how to maintain his physicality within the NFL's rules. He expresses confidence in the Chargers' defense, which is currently performing well, allowing only 12.5 points per game.
