Time to trade Tito for a draft pick or add him in for RB like Jerome Ford or Damien Pierce.

I keep going back to Ted Karras and the Bengals
Granted with Flacco they still might be plahying for something

But if they lose a few games and give up on the season

What about Tito and Nikko Reed for Karras and Samare Perrine (RB)

I like your idea of using Tito though and I was just trying to think of a depth CB piece that might have value to the Bengals beyond this y ear

This may have been Minter's worst game as Chargers DC.
So whatta ya need? A quality Edge? Consider it done.

Its almost as if Greg should ask Minter "hey Jesse - where is Joe's office?"

Some guys just won't ask for directions or help.

Between Ficken calling for the punt block OR not being clear - -DON"T HIT THE PUNTER and Minter going soft on that 3rd and 16
just shake my head

And who knows how the game turns out if the Bolts get the ball before the half up 10-7 OR the Commanders punt down 10-0
but as big of a play the QJ fumble - these two are right there

If only Deculus had a better name. Hey, he's a good run blocker...doin' all he can.

[Charge!]

Pierce would be a great add. He is a great KR and a power runner with speed.

I honestly don't know either. It's just frustrating that the problem they had last year is carrying through to this year. Maybe it's both. Hortiz/Harbaugh need to do some soul searching this offseason.

It’s been a problem since 2023 when Linsley went down permanently.

[Charge!]

Pretty bleak

In the two games he as played Austin Deculus has the lowest ranking of any LT in the NFL in pass blocking, run bloking isnt good either

Deculus has a 69% pass block win rate in the two weeks he's filled in for Alt, which ranks last among eligible tackles. In that same span, he has the 11th worst run block win rate (64.7%) and has been credited with allowing three sacks, the most among any tackle in the league.


Bradley Bozeman has been the worst ranked overall center in the NFL...even in hs supposed strength -run blocking - he was the 30th ranked center thru 4 games

So your LT and C are playing the worst at their positions in the NFL. Even with limited options why would the coaches accept that and keep trotting out those players every week while Herbert gets hit at an alarming rate??

Can Andre James be worse than the guy who is playing the worst center in the league? The guy who is even fucking up calls, the reason the coaches claim he has to be in there?

I dont want to hear another word out of Jim Harbaugh saying "we need to support Justin Herbert better" Not until he does something other than reward abysmal performance.

James is a better pass blocker then Bozeman.... Bozeman when he plays well is a good run blocker but he has never been a good pass blocker.... experts say this season he has not been good at either....

[Xenos]

Glad to see him go.

We have safety depth.

So someone who is better at the cap than me can chime in.

We owe Oweh just under 8 mil. Shows we save 4.5 mil by trading Gilman but that doesn't figure in salary already paid after 5 games ....so OTA hasn't got it figured in yet..

Guessing our cap is around 6 or 7 mil now. Getting thin.

No more injuries please!

Did anyone answer your question about the cap? This is what I could find online.

[Jack Burton]

Do you have any other names in mind?

I truly think the Chargers need to look into Ted Karras from the Bengals. I know they traded for Flacco yesterday but upgrading Center would be huge

Boze is done

Lots of the BALT media and fanbase are saying the guys on their last year are in play.

I think they just extended Karras but yeah, I’d hope Joe’s called Mike Brown and did everything possible to extract from his team a couple players. The Flacco thing makes it seem like they are flinging poop at the wall..

When the guy is the 3rd Left Tackle to play the spot in week 5, expectations should be 3rd string vs other team best pass rusher level. It puts play calling in a bit of a bind. You can't just throw quick short all the time, the defense will be daring you to hold it for a longer completion and covering everything short. The defense will also blitz more too. You end up playing a very vanilla offense of run game and punt. How much can you score that way. Or you call a normal game and have your franchise QB show he can deal with adversity, which likely increases the chance of turnovers. No risk it no biscuit. I say call the normal balance run pass attack game and and trust the franchise QB, defense, offense, special teams fight like hell and win the game.

[jamrock]

quite an exaggeration but they expect Odafe to play Sunday

Yes, but that’s why you have guys like Fisk, Dissly, other TEs and a 300 lb FB to help out. That does not mean you put your TEs or FB 1 on 1 with the opposing teams pass rushers, they are there to help your OTs. Roman has done that consistently with Matlock, which is not fair to Matlock. So that is on the coaches. I hope Roman and Devlin, the 2 worst coaches IMO can figure their shit out or get out.
