Saints @ Chargers Preseason Game Day Thread!

[Formula 21]

My wife had an interesting observation during the game. She was glad that San Diego is no longer associated with or amassed by this team.

Fouts said San Diego CHargers about 40 times. Hey! That would make a great drinking game during these preseason stinkers....

Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn said the "Mike" LB (Nick Dzubnar) failed to get over the top of his block on the 50-yard TD run by New Orleans RB Alvin Kamara. "He's not the only on to make a play, but that's where the hole came from," Lynn said.

I don't ever recall a Charger's HC calling out a player before.

[Heatmiser]

I look at Dzub as the Hank Bauer of this year's team. You look at him and you watch him play and you wonder why he is on the team. Then, somehow, he makes a play and looks pretty good.

Who did Ross ever call out?

Its funny how many more posts we get the day after a game when over the last 15 years its was always the other way around. Gameday with the big numbers followed by silence. You can just tell that during the games so many of us are just at a loss for words.

That will change when we kick ass this year.

Yup. Waiting for the regular season and the games to matter.

Those sites saying who did well is useless. I didn't see very many strong run blocks. Clemens didn't suck as bad but his play isn't worth noting either.
