2023 Official Roster Build Thread - The Initial 53 / Practice Squad

Do you think DD will get many snaps as a WR?

I really doubt it unless we have injury problems at WR.

Not a lot. He will be active and available at PR/KR, so some. It might build if he's successful. But still, not a lot.
KA, MW, QJ, JP are the main WRs.

We HOPE not a lot . . . . . . . . . . If he ends up playing (WR) a lot we have other issues.

I don’t think he’s getting a lot, may be closer to none. I’ll be watching if he does, though.

Camp Position Battles: Most of the starters are set but rotations are up for grabs in several areas.

Dicker v Hopkins for PK
Spiller v Kelley for RB2
QJ v Palmer for WR 3
Who is CB 3? A lot depends on JCJ health.
Tuli v Rumph for Edge 3
Murray v Henley???


what else?

WR3 is QJ's to lose. .Q is our future #1. Palmer is solid depth.
Pretty sure Tuli crushes Rumph

Agree on both counts.

I think Spiller is gonna give Kelley a run for his money
ASJ is CB3, JCJ will be ready and awesome
Murray v Henley perplexes me - will Murray make the jump in class his athleticism suggests? Can a new LB coach teach him to play Staley defense? Will he finally demonstrate first round potential (he was rated highly by a lot more than just the Chargers, as I recall?)

DD is the #6 WR on the team.
Did the #6 play last year ?

Yep. Murray has impressive speed & strength I hear "Beast" a lot from people who work with him. He's not stupid. My impression is that he overthinks things and doesn't trust his instincts.
One of K9 or Henley will replace Kendricks in the not too distant future. ILB should be a team strength in '23.

Or his instincts just aren't very good . . . . . . . . . . . . can't really coach or teach instinct (although film study may help).

I won't argue the point. He should be better.
Working through meetings and practices with Kendricks, Coach Howard and Henley may help.

Nothing worth arguing about . . . . . . . . . . as you say he needs to be better - let's hope something clicks for him

[Formula 21]

• Four of the Charger’s first six games are against 2022 playoff teams.

We can’t treat September like its preseason this year. We have to come out strong. So I’m hoping we have an old fashioned, kick ass training camp this year. We’ll see because Staley seems to run a soft TC IMO.

No 6,7,8 and the guy from the playground all played some last year. Let's hope we don't see a repeat of that.

The team was definitely better when KA and MW were both playing. We need a lot of that this year.
