The league has eliminated the force-out rule.  Defenders will now have considerably more latitude in pushing sideline receivers out of bounds without provoking the endless litany of instant replay dialogue and never-ending slow motion re-airs of one […]

Vic Carucci’s Insight into Chargers’ Training Camp

Posted by Charger_Girl

July 31, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Mr. Carucci has 5 observations from Chargers’ camp.  Allow me to summarize.
1.  K Nate Kaeding has increased offseason workouts in an attempt to better his Pro Bowl season from last year.  He has also amassed a videotape of kicking highlights from last season.  Good, he’s on my fantasy team!
2.  Stud TE Antonio Gates will be […]

Player Spotlight - Big Jamal Williams

The following is taken from an interview with Jamal Williams on 29 May 2008.  I especially like the pizza comments.
The San Diego Chargers are one of a handful of NFL teams that use a base 3-4 defensive scheme. They are able to execute that defense in large part due to the play of Jamal Williams. […]

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 […]

And Now a Word from the Waiver Wire

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 […]

(Wow, I’m impressed with myself over that title!)
Shawne Merriman had missed practice earlier this week due to an illness.  Flu-like symptoms, he asserts he caught from Antonio Cromartie (after laughing at Cro for being sick….tsk tsk.)  Luckily they are both feeling better, and Merriman along with Norv Turner, Billy Volek, Shaun Phillips, Stephen Cooper, Luis […]

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 […]

Both Chris Chambers and Jamal Williams missed practices due to a ‘team decision’ (whatever that means); but hopefully will be A-O.K. for Sunday.
Nate Kaeding has been struggling with […]
