2021 Official Chargers Season Discusssion

The answer fully depends on the health of JJ and AE.

JJ will be hurt. for me the over/under is he even healthy at Game 1, forget the whole season. But I expect Rountree is in front of him on the depth chart, and he’s got a bit of power too (more than JJ or Kelly).

Bulaga and Slater back at it is sweet music to my ears.

Back at Hoag. Not practicing today: WR Joe Reed, FB Gabe Nabers and LB Amen Ogbongbemiga #Chargers


The “don’t get hurt because we’re going to cut you” list

[Heatmiser]

Justin Jackson as a rookie was hurt all training camp and preseason and still made the team. I remember scratching my head on that one. I mean how can you evaluate a player who never practices or plays? Then when he stepped in against the Steelers, I told myself this coaching staff really knows what they are doing with talent evaluation. But with the benefit of hindsight, might have been better off him not making the team. The poor guy is just always hurt and is out for weeks/months at a time.

It looks like Nabors makes the team again and he and Herbert are besties. Reed seems like a goner. Amen might be IR'd? Seems like they really like him

Mellow out man.

Heh. Heh. Heh.

Maybe we'll get to see Slater for a time at Seattle?

Translation: Staley has seen enough of Pipkins and Norton

If Staley is as smart as I think he is, he'll cut Pip and meet with TT to sign the best FA OT, or poach the best OT that one of the other teams tries to sneak onto their PS...and that's IF the new signee is an upgrade over Darius Harper, who didn't look too bad vs. the Niners...

Staley isn’t responsible for cutting players. He can tell TT that Pipkins has no business playing professional football and should be bagging groceries instead at the nearest Whole Foods. But at the end of the day it’s up to TT whether or not he can put his ego aside and cut a player that he drafted in the top 3 rounds of a recent draft.

Not just Telesco but all GMs generally give their top 3 drafted selections more time to figure things out because of how it looks to cut a player that was drafted that high. Unless the player has off field issues too.
