      Colston was pretty damn tough as best player on the best defense in college football on a national championship team......

      He may have dealt with injuries his rookie year, but he is not glass.... lets hope he is fully recovered and stays healthy for many years..... and not the Bosa never ending nagging injuries path....

          I was just kidding, filling in for FoutsFan while he ran out to get an Italian beef sammy

          “… just want to keep him healthy and get him to camp”

          Now there’s a ringing endorsement from his coach, eh? FoutsFan will agree I am sure!

            Coaching is huge.... the team was losing regularly until Coryell was hired.... and it took same personnel a few games for Coryell to up the offense and jell.... we won the last 4 games that season and averaged over 40 PPG! many drives, fouts would open up drive with a deep post to Joiner getting ball past mid field.... then next pass went to end zone or red zone.... Fouts was known as the mad bomber.... then later in his career was known as old blood and guts!!!...continuing to play in a game with broken nose and blood covered jersey!

            In '79 we had a GREAT nearly HOF OL and a great DL...HOF receiver, TE, QB... one year we had 9 offensive players in Pro bowl... .... we stupidly traded Dean and Johnson to the 49ers and they helped create a great pass rush that helped 49ers win first SB....

            That Chargers team drafted:

            Fouts
            Jefferson
            Winslow
            Dean
            Johnson
            Kelcher
            Mike Williams
            Fuller
            Russ Washington
            Doug Wilkerson
            Macek
            Shields
            Woodrow Lowe
            Leroy Jones
            James Brooks
            Hank Bower the howitzer.... great STer and impossible to stop on 3rd and one or 4th and one....when everyone knew he was getting the ball!


            And traded for:

            ED White
            Muncie
            Chandler
            Joiner (started out as a blazing fast CIN DB)


            Many of the above players were Pro Bowlers, All Pros and HOFers... and i may have missed some...
            Who was the GM then, because let's bring him back!!

              Prob thinking too much out there. That tends to slow the foot speed down. Jim and Jesse knew Colton very well from his years at UofM. I'd be surprised if he doesn't take a big step forward this season.

                Tommy Prothro drafted about half of them.

                  Prothro built the best overall roster the Chargers ever had imo. Better than the peak 2000's roster.

                  If Fucking Klein (his real name, swear) hadn't sold off some superb all pro pieces for trinkets and bead necklaces just so he wouldn't have to pay them, it woulda made a huge difference in the oh-so-TOO-close '79-'84 Air Coryell run

                    '79-'84 editions were spectacular, it was the begining of my love story with them
                    2004-2009 were nearer to the SuperBowl, I think. My hopes were higher.

                      Yeah, but it was all okay, because Klein got some nice 3rd round comp picks in exchange for those guys. <eyeroll>

                      What Klein did was slam the Championship Window shut. Basstid.

                        Colson is likely to improve. That won't take much.
                        He's working long and hard at training and is getting at lot of "most likely" predictions from writers.
                        Henley and Colson could be scary good together.

                          Paper Mache and Crystal. Not glass.

                          Word on the street was he was healthy and not really injured or injury prone, outside of the appendix.
