2022 Official Chargers Season Discussion

[Boltjolt]

King was critical of the coaching staff for not playing him;

Ellison, with his bad knees, had so many years left.

Ellison wasnt very good. I didnt like him coming out of USC but as a 6th rounder he was a good gambwho didnt last but 1 season and nobody picked him up.

Actually, the Seahawks picked Ellison up, but he didn't stick there.

David Boston was a big dud

David Boston was a big dud

Yep...Boston was also an EXPENSIVE dud:

Boston signed a seven-year, $47 million contract ($12 million guaranteed) with the San Diego Chargers in 2003. That season, he caught 70 passes for 880 yards and seven touchdowns, though head coach Marty Schottenheimer suspended him for a game after he cursed out strength coach Dave Redding. Despite his adequate on-field performance, Chargers GM A.J. Smith traded Boston to the Miami Dolphins for a sixth round draft choice, citing his moody personality and lackadaisical practice habits.

At least he didn’t run backwards into the end zone for safeties.

I remember exactly where I was and who I spoke with the moment I found out we signed Boston.
I remember being so damn happy
Fully believing we were on our way to our first championship soon.

[Fleet 1]

This is a solid starting roster. Experienced, quality everywhere, only 1 rookie, a top 1st rounder. Time to win some games.

Los Angeles Chargers

QB	Justin Herbert	DL	Sebastian Joseph-Day
RB	Austin Ekeler	DT	Austin Johnson
WR	Keenan Allen	OLB	Joey Bosa
WR	Mike Williams	ILB	Drue Tranquill
WR	Josh Palmer	ILB	Kenneth Murray
TE	Gerald Everett	OLB	Khalil Mack
LT	Rashawn Slater	CB	J.C. Jackson
LG	Matt Feiler	CB	Asante Samuel Jr.
C	Corey Linsley	CB	Michael Davis
RG	Zion Johnson	S	Derwin James
RT	Storm Norton	S	Nasir Adderley

If we do intend to see more 5 man fronts...id put Fox in there. I bet he turns heads just because of his knowledge of this D. Knowing your job will go a long way here.

Bosa/KVN
Fox/Bosa
SJD
Johnson
Mack

Agree, with the exception of Norton...

This may be the year that the Charger's tradition of finding UDFA's comes to a halt. Our starters are all accounted for except for the RT and we have good depth. Can a UDFA crack the roster?

Someone is going to have to shine in Training Camp. With all this quality experience and 8 draft picks, its going to be tough. Maybe a special teams star.

Ellison got nailed for being in possession of a type of pain killer, in his first offseason with the Chargers.
I think the Chargers released him after that.

He was a big, slow, physical, super smart and instinctive safety. It was a shame what happened.

The 2006-2007 Chargers stopped grabbing away all the leagues good rookie free agents.

I got a feeling this is the closest the Chargers have come to those type of teams.

Who made it last year again? Obemiga?
