BTW, just from looking at images of TC photos from the Charger website I saw that Norton is still using improper technique that got him into so much trouble with Crosby last year. Head down, waist bending, lunging, etc…if you pop in the 2020 tape norton looked more fluid than he did in 2021, he improved his run blocking but to me looked like he regressed in his pass blocking last year. he was lighter in 2020 and he played with his head up, used his arm length better, and he wasn’t as top heavy as he is now and he seemed to drop his hips well and effectively absorb bull rushes. He played Crosby well in 2020, granted Crosby improved a lot from 2020 to 2021. Last year he looked bulked up in the upper body and he also played with more stiffness than he did in the 2020 season."The author assumes no responsibility or liability for any errors or omissions in the content of this post.

Not that any kind of injury isn't a little bit heartbreaking, but the non-contact ones I always feel like once the guys get into game shape ... they are going to be past most of those (not all, but most).

The big difference being the low draft capital that would be invested in acquiring him. Penning cost a top twenty pick in this years draft, jenkins can be had for a 2023 day three pick. It’s low risk if it fails and very high reward if it succeeds. No one could blame the chargers for taking a flier on a 24 year old kid with to s of upside.Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.
The Wasted Decade is done.

It's the back.
Plus the Chargers have shown a preference for refined glass eaters.Get comfortable with being uncomfortable.

Staley has prescription rose colored glasses for Norton. Pip is trending up. Then there's thing about our culture and our oline room.
I think Zion is going to be a Walk Off Grand Slam. And our refreshingly good talent level will permeate.Get comfortable with being uncomfortable.

Your keen observation must be assigned validity. Bad habits are hard to get rid of, especially for offensive linemen. See Dan Feeney.

last offseason they prioritized jared cook over everett in FA, both were available in the 2021 offseason but the focus was adding weapons in the passing game for herbert. This year they brought in everett because they want to help whomever plays RT. They are prioritizing protection this time around and buying a year to complete the offensive line which I’m certain we’ll see a 1st or 2nd round pick used on a RT in the 2023 draft. If they can just get average play from pipkins or norton the chargers are still going to be superbowl contenders this year.Darius "4.36" Davis
