2021 Official Chargers Season Discusssion

[Boltjolt]

I have thought this - is Staley being influenced to play Tillery or Murray over say Caraun Reid. As Caraun Reid may not be great - but he wouldn't have been worse than Murray on Sunday

Linval Joseph post COVID is not the same player - could Fehoko playing a few more snaps have helped

The Chargers margins are so narrow - that literally one defensive stop could be enough in some of these games.

Reid is a DT, not a DE or OLB. What do you think you were going to get from him there?

A helluva lot more than what Kenneth Murray brought to the table. Flip Tillery to DE if need be. But Murray is showing he cannot contribute, this year, for this team.

There are politics in every work environment
Give Staley time to caress egos
step 1 is earning that trust and respect that granted, should come with your hiring initially, but that's hardly ever the case anywhere
Staley is earning that now with the Spanos clan and Telesco, next season will be a lot more telling of Staley's personnel decisions
I know it hurts to wait that long for some of y'all haha
But patience is vital
Or we can all just be over-reacting to every win or loss

Both are better suited as EDGE guys imo
K9 gets more slack from me because he just started whereas Tillery has had multiple chances to show consistency in SOMETHING other than creating needless penalties.
and if you know me, you know JT was my boy pre and post draft.
I still think he can start in this league, just not convinced it should be with us.

The voice of reason, much needed.

[Bolt-O]

Over-reacting to every win or loss is normal here, even among the "calm"

[Formula 21]

Is Slater working with Pipkins? Get him practicing better skills?

Tillery did get some snaps at Edge. Reid was never going to.

[21&500]

Pipkins has finally started to flash. Available OL snaps, and their inherent benefits are rare. Schofield and Norton are becoming semi-adequate on the right side.

At DT, Fehoko has a different role than Tillery. I hope no one around here or at Charger podcasts would try and suggest that we have no need to draft Jordan Davis because...Fehoko.

DT is an expected problem area in switching from Bradley to Staley concepts. New, improved talent and a healthy JJones will be welcomed. SJD looks more plausible with the development of Gaines across town and the LAR cap situation.

Real solutions--not clickbait.

Yup
and I owe Pipkins an apology
One game but I feel much better about our swing situation next year

I'm still waiting for Flyfisher to stroll on in here and lower the boom on Herbert.
Could they still get a 3rd round pick for Herbert - maybe throw in Roundtree?

Young player thrown into a new position on a new defense in the middle of a season.....what could go wrong?
Situational edge rusher on passing downs is the absolute most that should be expected.
Expecting him to set the edge and all that was nuts.

I think i've seen enough from Tillery: his presence on the roster would not affect my free agency/draft decisions.

It’s better to be a stoic in real life. On football forums and as it relates to the Chargers I like to react on a game by game sometimes play by play basis.
