The Chargers first team offense looked good, so this will be a really good test for the defense. I expect Rivers to put up some yards while he is in the game because of the secondary injuries, but I'd like to see a couple of 3 and outs to feel better about where this D is at.
They should draft a developmental QB every year...it is worth it for the most important position on the team. Packers did it for year and now you have the Pats with a guy like Ryan Mallet looking good behind Brady...he either gives them depth or a big trade chip in a couple years.
Maybe he turns out to be a player, but time on the PS will help. Is he a good ST guy? I mean that 5th WR needs to cover kicks, particularly with Hurd gone now.
Sure, give the young kids a shot, but if you can add a vet WR on the cheap you do it. Radway is nice and all, but he shoudl be on the PS, not the active roster.
I don't think there is any way Gurode moves to G. Costa may end up starting at LG, but Gurode is not going to move there.
I am curious as to who the 3rd WR is they are talking about. Really not much left out there. I do like the upside of the younger WRs, but I'd wave bye bye to Ogletree...
I think he is leaning towards guys who can move and can get out on screens, Free and Smith fit that mold. That may be why Davis does not come back, but then I don't remember Holland ever being a mobile guy.
While it is true a good QB can cover for a poor line, the bigger issues, for quite some time, has been the run blocking. This has been a terrible run blocking team for awhile. Waters can help that...and Davis actually played well down the stretch.
OT is debateable...I like the longterm projection, but they have Andrews and just signed Ryan Harris.
Overall I think there is a very good chance we can win this division. Many will point at some complacency and continuity, but I think the fresh start under Garrett and Ryan will pay huge...
Elam seems like a given...his ties to Ryan seem to make him a lock for Dallas. Goldson could cost, but he is young, so it might be a good investment, although Pool is the same age and should cost less.
7, so if that number holds up he could hang around.
Ratliff
Igor
Spears
Brent
Coleman
Hatcher
Lissemore
I could see only 6 though, particularly if 2 FBs are kept.
Lissemore needs to do something as well, seems like the odd man out though. I did read some stuff where he knocked down some balls at the LOS, so that is a good thing. The numbers though, they do not look good for him.
