While I think the Chargers can beat anybody on a given Sunday, I also think the Chargers can play down to competition and lose to anyone on a given Sunday. The Chargers fans who beat their chests obviously haven't been paying attention to this team's Jekyll and Hyde personality. This team can...
We have a first-year starter (Donald Butler) at one ILB spot and Takeo Spikes at the other. Butler is unproven covering tight ends. He was a 3rd round pick in '10 but missed the season with a knee injury. He has talent and has looked good so far, but the Vikes didn't spread out our defense so...
At this point we're not too concerned with the loss of Castillo. Depth, however, is now a concern. Castillo's a very solid player, but DE happens to be the one position on the field where we have a backup who legitimately could be better. Vaughn Martin was our 4th round pick in '09 and was...
You can't change everything every week. The best you can do is have a set of varying signals and cycle through them, but you can't completely change out your signals. If you did, you'd spend all your time re-training your players as to what the signals are. In case you haven't noticed, some...
You know what--I'm honest enough to admit maybe that's exactly what we're seeing here. But I also tend to think people do things for reasons. Sometimes those reasons fall under the category of simple paranoia. Hell, back in the day Sid Gillman (I think it was Sid) actually stopped a practice...
Well, if I believed that no other team had ever won a football game by knowing the opposing coach's tendencies and/or signals this would probably be more of a big deal to me. Hell, look at the Buccaneers SB win against the Raiders. If anyone thinks Gruden didn't have the Raiders defensive...
I have intentionally not posted on this forum this week, and I'm sure you'll all tell me to continue to follow that trend in the future, but I've seen this kind of rationalizing so many times I just have to ask the question.
If filming the opposing team's coaches yielded NO meaningful...
Because it rains so rarely here the roads build up a layer of oil and tire rubber on them. Then when it rains the roads become really slick. That's when all the out-of-staters who don't expect the lack of traction start getting into accidents, and then the roads get totally borked. Traffic's...
20's and 30's is butt-kicking cold when you're not used to it. And we in San Diego definitely aren't used to it.
I lived in northern Pennsylvania with a friend of mine for a couple years and I got used to the cold after awhile. When I first got back to Cali I laughed at people who were...
I've heard a few pundits say they think BB will pretty much ignore the LT factor and focus on screwing with PR, the logic being that LT is going to get his yards and tends to have huge runs against teams who are selling out to stop him, while slowing down PR tends to kill the rhythm of our...
I love when players start "talking" about how they aren't talking. You know, how they'll let their play do the talking. If you're going to let your play do the talking, then why are you talking?
He was instrumental in bringing the Chargers down from LA to SD and getting a new (at the time) stadium built. I'm not old enough to have read his articles but virtually every older sports fan in SD is very respectful of him and feels like our current sportswriters are a bunch of tools in...
That's funny, since our top 3 running backs all average 4.8 YPC or better. But yeah, it's all Ladianian.
footballoutsiders also has us ranked as the #1 offensive line overall so not sure what your point is. LT is not an exceptional power-back in you guys have Corey Dillon, so that would...
Look at our red-zone offense and you'll see the difference. Rushing touchdowns don't just happen.
You also forgot to mention; 4.9 YPC vs. 3.9 YPC. Our running backs average 5.4 YPC. If it wasn't for PR's immobility (1 YPC on 48 carries) we'd be averaging well over 5 YPC as a team.
The thing I hope to not see is any questionable officiating down the stretch here. Every once in awhile there's a call in postseason that just makes you scratch your chin and say, "hmm." If the Bolts win I don't ever want to have any nagging doubts about whether it was bequeathed to them by...
