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

I'm still a huge Lights Out fan. Too bad that slimeball SOB coach for the Tit-ons* put a bounty on his knees.

* I wont even say his name.

Imagine how much Merriman must hate Fisher!

Here's an example of why we shouldn't take reports coming out of training camp too seriously.

Two summers ago Tyron Johnson was lighting it up in TC. All signs pointed to him taking a massive leap forward as a WR. There's a vid in this story of T Billy catching a missile in the end zone from Herbert.

Then suddenly he was cut. Lesson learned.

Don't get too excited by what you see or hear out of TC. I'm not saying that good things in TC don't translate into the season - they often do. But they often don't. And there always seems to be one player who is overlooked in TC, you hear nothing about him. Then suddenly he's lighting it up when the season starts.

Reports out of TC are often over-hyped, they reflect what the person making the report wants to see more than reality.

"Chargering" is bulls**t enemy propaganda. Guys that run around screaming "Chargering" we're gonna die! may have other issues.
Fight the urge Chargers Brethren!

historically people have used negative terms like "chargering" and turned them on there heads and made them into badges of honor. There are tons of examples of this...In WW1 the Germans insulted the US Marines by describing them as savages and calling them "Tuefel Hunden" or dogs from hell or hell's hounds...that was back when calling someone a dog was a legit insult. The Marines took that shit and ran with it and turned it into a badge of honor...If we're "chargering" to a Super Bowl victory then chargering might become such a term for charger fans too...sometimes the best medicine is to embrace that shit and turn it on it's head...

The Germans in WWI called the use of shotguns by American soldiers "barbaric" and complained they violated the Hague Convention on Warfare. That was rich coming from a nation that elevated barbarism to a new level, dropping bombs on civilians in cities for the first time in history and sinking the world's largest passenger liner (Lusitania), sending 1,200 non-combatants to their deaths, including hundreds of women and children.

It was probably a mistake to cut him. Should we get Chaincrusher’s opinion?

Pretty horrible, but in what level of hell do you place the American bastards that placed armaments aboard the Lusitania, amidst the women and children, in the first place?
