    Just gut feel, I think Ekeler and Scott could make this team.

        Wonder if Koo would be allowed to use that technique in a game, so we could have an extra blocker on the line instead of a holder....

          The kicker is pretty cool but that running back (Eckeler?) is exciting! I almost don't want him to play any preseason games. I want him healthy.

                    As someone mentioned earlier, we've had a few players agree to terms in previous years only to change their mind and sign elsewhere. I'm wondering when the signing deadline is for these UFA's. Anyone know? Ekeler is the dude I want signed.

                      I think they actually sign on the first or second day of rookie mini-camp. I remember a few jokers posted that they were going to the Chargers, but never made it, or were just there for a tryout. It would be nice to actually have an open rookie minicamp like they did last season, but the moving vans already have been seen.

                        Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.

                          The Chargers have the biggest class of UDFAs at 15, next largest are the Pats at 11. Subject to change.
