    All good comments about the Bolts’ ILB situation.

    Here’s another tangent: with Kyzir White playing quite well in a pass-happy League, the Chargers may not be able to re-sign him to a contract extension this off season.

    I have a feeling whatever the Chargers decide to do w/ Mike Williams will directly impact White.

      True-- you can't pay EVERYBODY the cap-sucking bucks.

      But as long as the team has the trio of White-Tranquill-Murray, I see NO reason they can't get productive service out of each of them, health permitting.

      The defense is diverse and flexible partly because the Bolts have some high quality interchangeable parts that minimize drop-off in production when the subs hit the field.. One example: Alohi Gilman has stepped up when on the field, whether it was because someone else was banged up, or the game plan (KC) called for constant dime packages.

        Not sure why so many want to get three ILBs on the field at the same time. What non-ILB spot are you supplanting? If Murray can add some value as OLB in pass situations, great - maybe some situational spots vs TE-heavy packages. but if its a pass situation Staley will value another cover DB and Murray is no cover DB. If Murray’s only value in pass situations is as a 5th rusher / blitzer …. Lets just say I personally don’t think Staley like a to telegraph his intentions that blatantly.

        Rotate, develop, keep all 3 fresh for screaming intensity in the 4th Q. its great to have 3 elite guys able to play 2 positions

          We have plenty of Cap Space to sign any/all of our homegrown talent.

                I hear that Murray had snaps at edge in college. Didn't scout him but he has the attributes to rotate there.

                Tranquill should keep getting 70% of snaps regardless.

                  Yes Murray has some nice pass rush metrics.

                  That said I think we need a re-introduction to Drew Tranquill the prospect coming outta Notre Dame. TT is proving me wrong on dem' choir boyz lol.

                    Four years ago the linebackers were Perryman, Kyle Emmanuel and Jatavis Brown. Today they are Tranquill, White and Murray. I know who I'd rather have.

                      Rotate all 3 and keep the defense rolling. Giving Staley more options will only make the whole defense better. I do think Murray will keep getting better as the year goes on just like he did last year.

                        Yep...I think it takes Murray several games to learn a new system...agree he'll be firing on all cylinders in a few more games...

                          The answer, obviously, has everything to do with how Tranq performs over the next 2 games.

                          It wouldn’t surprise me if Tranq takes this opportunity to lock down the starting role for the remainder of the season

                          What say you?
                          I don't care who wins it, I want the best guy out there.
