2020 Chargers Training Camp and Final 53 Discussion

[wu-dai clan]

prolly gonna drop off some with no more Phil.... guessin' sixteensumthin' YPC, with 'bout two catches/game.... down from his three/game last season, and....

guessin' he'll be less efficient and require more targets as well ??

last year he had Phil, and after Keenan went for twenty in one game, he warranted less attention opposite Allen, and....

he didn't have to share catches with a third receiver, let alone a fourth (and HH for 4 games as well)

You could be right. I see MW as filling a specific role on the outside.

The speed AL says he wants will be provided no doubt by Joe Reed, at Slot and X.

I had projected a breakthrough 2020 for Andre Patton, while many called Patton useless.

I guess I have to say goodbye to Andre now.

All i said was Patton had NFL experience under his belt while not being very good last season. I like KJ as a prospect but he was passed over by 31 teams for 6.5 rounds. Ill hope for the best as usual but again, to suggest he is already better than MW is yes...... WAY more ridiculous.

Lets hope we have a Welker type with KJ but even that dont mean he is better than MW and he wont be a Welker right away. Welker took time to develope.

The Bolt brass apparently agrees with u. Patton has been cut:

On Saturday afternoon, the Chargers announced six cuts to the roster, bringing their total players down to the necessary 80 prior to training camp. On the offensive side of the ball, the cuts were offensive tackle Koda Martin, wide receiver Andre Patton, and tight ends Jared Rice and Andrew Vollert. Defensively, safety Roderic Teamer - who was suspended the first four games of the season - and defensive tackle P.J. Johnson were among the first players who won’t be making the opening roster.

Good call with Joe spending some quality snaps at X. Keenan breaking ankles in the slot.

Yes, I do think Joe has the chance of upto 20 touches a game between ST returns, rushing, and receiving opportunities.

Lol. I remember getting in a fight with you about that prediction. Damn, that seems like a lifetime ago, pre-Covid. I just don’t give a shit about old arguments anymore. Wtf for - its the goddamn end of the world. Streets are on fire, body bags stacked like cordwood.

Fuck it. I ain’t even gonna bother to get a fucking haircut, why argue about a prediction? 15-20 it is.

(lol, but there’s no chance of that)

Most of us will survive this plague.

Bolts are going to have a great season. We’ll embrace the chaos, keep healthy in the year where others aren’t, and “win the whole fucking thing”.

Surprise cuts, anyone you see that could be on the bubble?

The Bolts need to find money somewhere to pay Bosa’s signing bonus. Letting go one of the vets would help.

The money is already accounted for in cap space.
Dean and one of the kids sold their houses to cover the actual cash outlay.

I looked at the list and really did not see any surprise cuts. Patton was a bit of a surprise but if Hill and Reed are better - thats fine. From a cap perspective, there are not any players left that could create cap space. The Chargers are fine there. I would have said Perryman but he re-did his deal so there really is not any cap savings. Plus he is is good depth at worst.

It does look like Parham (sp) might get hte TE nod with Vollert waived yesterday.

Well, I’m still not getting my hair cut until it all sorts out. I hope they play ...

beach I always enjoy reading your outlandish, unsupported by facts, and hard to figure out your reasoning takes.

Your sig has some prospects I am high on going into 2020 season.....
T. Lance, T. Smith, Hamsah, Faalele, Deng, McCollum.

Personal attack.
Where's management ?

MW did make some epic catches, though. if Phil had more than 2 seconds to find a receiver before getting plowed, he might have found him more often. Can’t wait to see what a new OLC and half a new OL can do with a QB that can move more than 2 feet off his spot.

Hey, stop denigrating our OL. We’re up to 60% now. Maybe.
