    I hope he catches on but glad he's moved on...was never a fan, I'm trying to think of the worse RBs drafted by the chargers since I've been a fan, I think Larry might belong somewhere on that list...

      Kind of hard to justify a player taking up a roster spot based on ST skills alone...the only possible exception might be an elite gunner who consistently makes open field tackles...
      (Like Osgood)...

        I used to agree with this, but after all of the years of ST costing us games I have come to change my mind on it.

          Could be a blood bath against Herbert and his WR corps if the the Dolphins come to town with a depleted secondary week 1.

            Good point.
            also, Ficken has earned his say at the table.
            Staley would be wise to listen.

                Limit snaps for our top WRs. 50 / 50 R/ P. Get our OL playing to their strength, develop WR depth and keep the D fresh. LAC 31- Mia 17 works.

                  We have had some bad ones. Gartrell is one of them. The list would be long actually but im not going thru all the rosters lol.

                        Note to TT. Do not draft plodders at RB. They never work out.
                        Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.

                          The Baltimore Ravens are bolstering the pass-rusher position, announcing they have signedformer No. 1 overall pick Jadeveon Clowney. CBS Sports HQ NFL Insider Josina Anderson reports it's a one-year deal worth up to $6 million.​



                          I love what The Ravens are doing, they come to win.

                          And I’m especially glad KC didn’t get him. We need to beat them this year.
