There were some great individual performances tonight for sure.
Darren Sproles rushed for 102 yds on 13 carries and scored a TD. Vincent Jackson had 3 catches for 84 yds, including a beautiful 59-yd catch. Philip Rivers had a nice outing, 11 of 21, 143 yds. Jacob Hester as […]
Rookie K/P Billy Vinnedge (from Wyoming) was team hero-for-a-day when he made a “pressure-filled 41-yard with big stakes on the line.” What stakes, you might ask (I know I did.) Well, if he made it, Coach Turner said he’d cancel evening meetings for the team. When Vinnedge nailed it, he was hailed by riotous, appreciative cheers.

QB Philip Rivers said his knee felt good after his impressive Saturday start against Dallas; 5-for-6, 54 yds, and both drives culminating with Chargers TDs. Even Norv Turner expressed his satisfaction with Rivers’ amazing comeback.
WR Vincent Jackson took the field again Monday for practice after nursing some sore legs. Both Turner and he are confident he’ll be […]
First of all, I’m very impressed with the running game sans LT thus far. Darren Sproles and rookies Mike Tolbert and Jacob Hester all scored in the first half, illustrating the tremendous depth San Diego has on the ground. The rest of the team looked decent for a first preseason game. The DST was hot, […]

LaDainian Tomlinson’s obvious absence during the offseason was likely a combination of his knee injury and some mental anguish over the end of last season.
Sports Illustrated caught up with the Pro Bowl RB in Los Angeles, where he was filming two spots for upcoming Chunky soup commercials to air during opening weekend. Check out his interview […]
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 […]

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.
Hester is […]
According to nfl.com, here are the Top 10 Draft Trades in History:
1. 1985 - The 49ers trade up for Jerry Rice. (I highly agree with this one.)
2. 1999 - The Rams trade 2nd and 5th round draft picks to Indianapolis for Marshall Faulk. (As a SDSU alumnus, high fives all around for this one as well.)
3. 1987 - […]
Amongst the proliferation of news surrounding Philip Rivers’ knee rehabilitation and the various injuries and remedies for the rest of the team, I was worried I was unable to find any update on superstar LaDainian Tomlinson…so much, in fact, that I was actually losing sleep over it.
Well, lo and behold, I checked into chargers.com for […]
