Jamal Williams has returned to practice.

Clinton Hart is loking to up his interception total this season.

Philip Rivers is making phenomenal progress after his ACL reconstruction, while the other post-op […]

3.  He started […]

With the 2008 mini camp in the books, the general consensus among the Chargers was that it was a success.  The players enjoyed entertaining the fans, with Antonio Cromartie’s INT of Philip Rivers (keep it up Cro….especially against the Colts and Patriots later this season), Chris Chambers tackling of Cromartie, and Vincent Jackson’s long reception […]

AFC Divisional Playoffs - Pre Game Bolts @ Colts

Posted by Charger_Girl

January 10, 2008 | 2 Comments

I will start by cutting to the chase - to the meat of the upcoming matchup Sunday - which is, the Colts struggle against 3-4 defenses, one the Chargers utilize very, very successfully.  Particularly with Shawne “Sackmaster” Merriman on one end and Shaun Phillips on the other, the Chargers’ defense is quite adept at collapsing […]

Chargers 23, Broncos 3 (collectively this season Chargers 64, Broncos 6)

Chargers 51, Lions 14
San Diego Chargers 2007 AFC West Champions!!
(First time since 1981 for back-to-back division championships!)
What a game!!  Two 100+ yd rushers in LaDainian Tomlinson and (LT, Jr.) Darren Sproles, and 2 TDs each; not to mention the team scoring the most points since 1985.
Despite missing Shawne Merriman, the defense forced a fumble and had 5 […]

HOLY COW!!! - Week 14 Ultimate Nail-Biter Post Game

Chargers 23, Titans 17
What an unbelievable game, my pulse is still racing!
Let me begin by proposing that Tennessee’s “LP Field” be renamed “LT Field”….think that’ll fly?  And it appears that Vince Young has fallen prey to the “Madden Curse.”
I have to admit, I was rapidly losing faith in the 2nd quarter, and had really lost it […]

Leave it to LaDainian Tomlinson, Antonio Gates and Kris Dielman to come up with this.
Some friendly conversation turned into reminiscing about the ‘good ole days’ and last Thursday’s practice found the team in their old college jerseys.  Fun was had by all, particularly for Gates who wore his #44 Kent State basketball jersey and safety Clinton […]
