While this game wasn’t a nailbiter (although, seriously, what preseason games really are?), the Chargers showed some real defensive prowess.
Marc Bulger was intercepted on his first two drives - by CBs Cletus Gordon and Antoine Cason.  Additionally DT Lamar Divens and LB Jyles Tucker each forced a fumble.  LB Tim Dobbins and Tucker were each […]

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, […]

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 […]

Notes from Training Camp

Friday ushered in what is known in San Diego as “Christmas in July” - or the start of training camp.  Of course, expectations were sky high, as the team won its division the last 3 or 4 years, and barely missed 2 trips to the Super Bowl as a result of the Cheatriots, er Patriots […]

Mini Camp Musings

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 […]

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 […]

Well, it seems I have calmed down considerably after yesterday’s tirade; however, I am not “over” it by any stretch of the imagination.  Understandably, I, as well as the Chargers and the rest of their fans, were highly upset after the loss, especially after the turnovers from a tough Patriot offense, but the Chargers couldn’t […]

Here it is!  The big game (so far anyway.)
Interestingly, both games are a rematch from Week 2 this season.  Green Bay beat New York 35-13, and New England beat San Diego 38-14. 
I was watching Gameday on NFL Network this morning.  Trent Dilfer was illustrating the injury to Philip Rivers’ knee and how it may affect his […]

Don’t ask me why, but my dear husband turned on the NFL Network while we were eating dinner and guess what was on?
The AFC Divisional Playoff game from last season:  New England at San Diego.  Many, if not all, of you reading this should remember that dreadful somber day in Chargers’ history (unless you’re an […]
