I’ve seen too many receivers do well in preseason and then nothing when the real games start to get excited about bottom of the depth chart guys. Bandy had a nice game and was fun to watch, I don’t know if that translates to playing with the big boys.
Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.
The Wasted Decade is done.
Build Back Better.
There’s the bold take we needed. He is the type that is so different from KA and MW. Unlike Palmer and Guyton who are lesser versions of KA and MW. Bandy is what we’ve needed in the slot.
Van Noy has been playing exclusively off the ball at inside linebacker. The Chargers signed him because they feel like he has the versatility to play both off the ball and at edge rusher. But Staley said Tuesday that Van Noy will “fit in the center of our defense in many roles.” That certainly implies an off-the-ball role, and the evidence from practice suggests that same thing.
Based on this, I have realigned Van Noy as an ILB on my roster, rather than an edge rusher. This thins out the competition at edge while increasing competition at ILB:
Edge rusher (7): Joey Bosa, Khalil Mack, Chris Rumph II, Emeke Egbule, Jamal Davis, Ty Shelby, Carlo Kemp
Linebacker (9): Drue Tranquill, Kenneth Murray [once he returns from the PUP list], Kyle Van Noy, Troy Reeder, Amen Ogbongbemiga, Nick Niemann, Cole Christiansen, Damon Lloyd, Tyreek Maddox-Williams

I don't know...Joe Reed looks like he can play and is really athletic about it. Let's hope he's no longer injury prone.
Herb struggles against D2
Daniel thrives against D1
Hmmmm
I hope this helps to keep Herbert hungry and motivated.
Carter making plays but I really need to see it to believe it, especially with Herb. iirc all, if not most of his TDs have been from either Stick or Daniel. He needs to have chemistry with Herbert, or Wood's bold prediction may materialize.
McKitty dropping 2 catchable passes. Wow.
Dallas may be looking closely at our WR depth. IDK what their LB depth looks like, I'm just assuming it might be good. But keep an eye out for a player for player trade here. Guyton?

Agree.
Bandy isn't in a position to make the squad after 1 game. He has to outplay a draft pick and don't think he has this far.
