Chambers has alot of play time against the Patriots while Jackson has been hot lately
So which of the Chargers WRs is more dangerous to the Pats secondary?
(I would include Gates as a receiver as well but he is likely not playing)
Vincent Jackson. In my mind he's better than Chambers, taller, more athletic. If it's him with Hobbs instead of Asante 1 on 1 I think he'll have a big day.
Jackson, due to his size, he can't really be covered by one guy effectively.
He looked as mediocre as the numbers he produced last week (22 yards). There's little reason to think he'll be the real Gates.Regardless I think Gates is still their number one thread. He'll be playing with a plate in his shoe and numbed to hell, so other than the weirdness of a partially numbed foot I expect him to be fine for those 3 hours on Sunday.
Gates will probably play (he did last week), but I'd have to say it's Vincent Jackson. Chambers has never been a killer against the Patriots (even last year when Wes Welker was getting double covered and Joey Harrington was chucking the ball a ton). Jackson is a huge match up problem for the Pats because he is 6'5" and will probably be up against Hobbs. Jump ball scenarios like the Plaxico Burress catch in week 17 where Hobbs had good coverage but was just unable to make a play on the ball are a very real possibility. I don't think it'll be a killer, though.
Moss was never a killer against the Chargers when he was with the Raiders.Gates will probably play (he did last week), but I'd have to say it's Vincent Jackson.

I agree 100%, Hobbs has been beaten quite a bit this year, but we have to keep Asante on Chambers, he is the break out reciever.
BTW how long has Vincent Jackson played, I don't know much about him..
If we put Hobbs on Jackson....we are in big trouble.....Hobbs has been very erratic this year......gets burned at least 2-3 times per game for huge gains...if not TD's...and at 5'9 (at best) He canot cover the tall receivers.......Overall, I hate seeing him out there in ONE ON ONE coverage schemes.........BB will have some kind of scheme I am sure.....if we see the mismatch there......obviously BB has dissected it thoroughly!
Yea, my point was that looking at what a player does against a team when he's with one team and what a player does against the same team with another team is fairly meaningless.Think about the statement you just made. Now go look at Moss' numbers in Oakland. He wasn't a killer against anyone.
