Welcome Kyle Emanuel, OLB, NDSU

[Steve]

Yeah, Emanuel is the better football player at this point and should get most of the reps.
Jeremiah however has that edge speed that is an absolutely HUGE weapon. He'll get his reps as well.

I'm looking forward to trying to get all 3 on the field at the same time. Emmanuel and Attaochu off the edge, and Ingram as an inside rusher. I wouldn't expect to see it often, but on some of the 3nrd and long type of passing downs, it could be effective.

It's always something. Now it's Attaochu, but if Ingram or Watt Or Verret gets injured its the same. It takes time for some guys to get into NFL game shape. JV Ingram Mathews, Dielman, and lots of others had nagging injuries or consistent in injuries untill they adapted to the NFL. So do, some do not. Give Attaochu time.

Mathews never adjusted. He was hurt every season. Now he's playing for some team that doesn't matter - aka Not San Diego.

I don't remember Dielman getting injured more at the beginning of his career than he did later on. Looking at the stats, it looks like he only played in 6 games his first year. But, at that time, was he really on the team? I know he wasn't a starter, and I remember stories about how we had this undrafted dude I didn't know who was converting from defense to offense. Once he became a starter, he missed like one game a year and always had something that was affecting his play.

Ingram has yet to adjust. I'm not counting on him, Attaochu, Te'o, Butler, Floyd, Watt, Allen, Addae, or Verrett playing 16 games this season. The Chargers have to be ready to win without them. Coaches have to make adjustments when we lose certain players. I've seen that adjustment happen on the defense. We are more aggressive when Verrett is on the field than when he is off. I didn't see that same adjustment on offense last year. If we have significant losses on the offensive line again, we can't continue to call a lot of plays in which the defense has enough time to hit Rivers. If Allen is clearly too hurt to be of use, we can't continue to put him on the field. Don't leave it up to the player to admit he's too injured to play - players have a lot of pride. The coach has to recognize when a player isn't getting the job done and make a change.

Waiting for the same thing.

I say Emmanuel early. And use Attaochu speed late when offense is a little tired

I think we'll finally see it this weekend as Attauchu was a full participant in practice yesterday.

Please put him on a shelf until gametime!

So he can fall off and shatter?

if he keeps doing good..itll be hard to come up with a nickname for him. Ky-eman sounds like a scifi gay porn movie name.
Maybe we should let his game keep talking.

Since he enjoys body slamming QB's, what about the "Kyle-Driver". I guess that could also work for porn.
