Fully agree, with 2 block well, catch a little plodders at TE....possession types at WR like Allen and Palmer...a power back in GUS, this offense screams for some speed and playmaking like Nabers with the 5 pick and an RB like Jaylen Wright

agree

[Lefty2SLO]

Yuck . . . . . . . . . I hope this is a preparatory move to facilitate a trade. Don't like the idea of Joey stealing more Charger money.

Like yesterday, when it was announced MW was released but talk of bringing him back - my thought was, all things equal - the Chargers should be targeting Hollywood Brown over Mike Williams. Granted, I don't see MW as being an option - that just sounds good for the press to say "open to coming back." And I htink Hollywood Brown is going to the Chiefs. But like you said, with Allen and Palmer, the Chargers need speed and playmaking

If the Chargers get Nabers and Wright, that would be a very good combo to add in the draft

Bosa meet Strength and Conditioning Coach Ben Herbert, Herbet meet Bosa... Now get to work and prove you are not a washed-up player.

We'll see . . . . . . . . . Bosa has to buy in, and he's normally off in Florida doing his own thing (except for last year)

[Lefty2SLO]

Stop Joey Bosa wants to be here. Joey Bosa wants to be a Charger.

Joey Bosa want to keep stealing Charger money . . . . . . . . . . . .

Dissly is a blocking TE. Hurst is not. Bowers is both. But with 3 TEs currently on the roster we are not taking Bowers. If we don't trade down I'm hoping for
MH2 or Nabors. We need playmakers. If we trade down OT looks likely.

Sorry, this simply isn't true. This doesn't move the needle at all. If the Chargers have decided that in certain scenarios they would take Bowers, this signing does nothing to change that. All this does is add depth to the TE room. He signed for the vet minimum. Every FA signing is not being signed to be a starter some will be signed for depth. This is exactly what Hortiz said he wanted to do, build depth.

Truth!

Popper mentioned one team reached out to a trade -- would have taken it.

I see Hayden Hurst the same as signing somebody like Bozeman or Cole at Center. It adds depth - but if all goes well in the draft, the "rookie draft pick" will be teh wanna-be starter

I agree, Bowers is still an option. Probably behind Nabors and OT - but sure, still an option.

According to many here Harbaugh just screwed up big time.

Waiting for the fire Harbaugh threads now.

Harbaugh is a leader and knows how to get the most out of his players. This is the exact type of coach Bosa needs. I think (hope) we will see a new motivated Bosa next year. If not, he will be in Harbaughs doghouse, and I don't think he will want to to be there.

Both new TE’s are going to play a ton. They are primarily blocking TEs. Fullbacks, really in Harbaughs system.
Hortiz has officially fixed the run game.

I’d love to get Bowers but it just looks like they want to go big boy run and max protect Herbert.

I just hope he can keep Bosa from getting hurt. Thats been the issue.

It definitely seems like it will be a skill position. Bowers or Nabors. Either would be fantastic.
