Preseason Week 2 - Chargers 6, Rams 7 (yawn)

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 […]

 Chargers 31, Cowboys 17
Following the 2nd play sack of Philip Rivers, he said his knee felt fine, allowing Chargers fans to breathe a collective sigh.  In fact, it’s almost as if he didn’t undergo surgery for his torn ACL in the off-season. Yay!!

Halftime Update Cowgirls @ Chargers

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, […]

The Chargers signed ex-Raider and 11-year veteran C Jeremy Newberry to a one-year contract.  Understandably, worry as to whether Nick Hardwick will have fully recovered from foot surgery by the start of the season is on the team’s mind; but Cory Withrow did a mighty fine job filling in for Hardwick last season after the initial […]

In my just-received June 9th issue of the Sporting News, I was checking out the offseason scorecard wherein San Diego was given the grade of C- due to the loss of Michael Turner and Drayton Florence to free agency.  So, the draft acquisitions they selected to reinforce their receiving corps, secondary, and offensive line do […]

Getting Back to Business with LT

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 […]

Day 2 - Draft Update

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.
Hester is […]

What Else is New?

Was Marty Schottenheimer coaching this game?  Because the playcalling SUCKED, as usual.  Where was the reverse?  Where was the halfback option?  Where were the TDs?  Where the *%($ was the DEFENSE?!?
I swear, they looked like they did at the beginning of the season when they sucked.  What happened?  How much did they pay you Norv […]
