The Chargers released FB Andrew Pinnock today and placed TE Scott Chandler on IR after his Gates-like toe injury Friday night against San Francisco.  C Cory Withrow has also been placed on IR, so Nick Hardwick needs to stay healthy.
To fill the 2 recently vacated roster spots, the Chargers added former Kansas City TE Kris […]

With the departure of Lorenzo Neal, the Chargers have a potential fullback controversy a’brewing.  With Andrew Pinnock recovering from offseason knee surgery rookie Mike Tolbert has had the opportunity to strut his stuff in the preseason, with his activity and contributions likely to be as evident in Saturday’s game against the Rams as they were last week […]

April 27, 2008 | 1 Comment

Lo and behold, the Chargers did some fancy footwork, trading a 5th round pick in this year’s draft (#160) and a 2nd round pick in the 2009 draft to mortal enemy New England for the chance to select LSU RB Jacob Hester (a distant cousin of Terry Bradshaw, no less) with the 69th pick overall.

Well, at least in San Diego…or so it seems.
Shawne Merriman had his troublesome knee scoped last week and is looking at a 4-6 week rehab period.
Marcus McNeill elected to go the shoulder route, with his surgery last week too; however, as he doesn’t typically walk on his hands (at least I hope not…he’s a VERY big […]

The Chargers waived Lorenzo Neal, Marlon McCree and Shane Olivea this week.  Everyone knew McCree was on the outs after Eric Weddle showed why San Diego used the 37th pick overall in the 2007 draft to get him.  Olivea lost his starting job to Jeromy Clary, and Neal will be entering his 15th season should […]

Everyone knows the Chargers have a lot of injured stars; hopefully, however, everyone on this list will be A-O.K. to play Sunday in what, so far, is the biggest game of the season for San Diego.  Yes, the playoffs are important, and yes, they’ve done exceptionally well thus far.  But winning the AFC Championship is […]

Once again, Chargers 17, Titans 6
O.K., where to start?  How about with Chris Chambers, who had his best game of the season in his first career playoff game (bet he’s glad he left Miami!) with 6 catches for 121 yds, with his 3rd-and-10, 39-yd clutch reception in the 4th quarter which kept alive the drive […]
