Chargers @ Broncos Pregame Discussion (wk 12)

Interesting that they activated him for this game. Is JJ out again?

No, Jackson practiced all week and is good go to for this week, at least according to the latest injury report yesterday. I wonder if they're elevating Bradwell for special teams, or they plan to make Rountree or Kelley inactive for the game, or if they have a special purpose in mind for him. My guess is the want to see if Bradwell can produce and are planning to make Kelley inactive. I don't know really.

I’d like to see what he’s got. Kelley isn’t gonna blossom into a useful player for us. If he was on the Patriots he’d be an all pro

I've been banging the table for Bruiser Bradwell since the pre-season...I think he's better than Kelley and could give Rountree some real competition...

I don't know but it's worth a look given our lack of consistent #2 RB production. Ek is awesome, the others ??

Bradwell runs angry.
Show the world we are not a "finesse team."

So does Rountree

Not sure either are ready for the NFL

I also hope Bradwell can show something and he gets a chance to show it. But I feel like he will get 2 carries for 6 yards. But hey, that is better than Rountree and Kelly!

If those two carries for 6 yards end up blasting through a stacked box for two first downs, I'll take it!

Roundtree seemed pretty good at that up and over from the one yard line. Wanna see another for a TD and for that funny celebration of his. Use him for up and overs only. Otherwise, his 2.5 YPC ain’t helping.

Shoutout to our kicker Hopkins. Why? He was signed without fanfare and no big “who will win the summer camp kicker competition” drama articles. Seemingly gotten out of nowhere, Hopkins has done pretty damn well. All his kickoffs aren’t returned, he’s more dependable at PAT’s then the previous two kickers, and he’s made a few long FG’s. Time to give this sudden out of nowhere guy some kudos.

[Ghost of Quacksaw]

The Bolts' O-line is better than it was last year, but it isn't close to being GOOD yet.

MO, Rountree reads blocks well and has burst. As the line gets better, so will Rountree.

He looks like such a great add. His kicks fly like professional kicks, most of them are steady and true flight. Our last two kickers kicked shit wobbly swerving balls, i was never comfortable even when they made it.

Some missed RB blocking assignments are the result of a newb running back following a flawed plan by the OC. The option is given for such a RB to decide to get free and run thru the line for a pass, when he should’ve stayed with his blocking assignment. But the option WAS given for such a plan B. That RB is also at fault for not sticking to plan A…pick up the blitz. A bit of fault lies with both. I saw one play where an eager RB wanted bad to go with plan B and be the hero. He neglected his duty to Plan A.
