Another observation....it appears that Travis Burke has passed Trey Pipkins as the #1 swing tackle.

I believe that is why they have been giving Trey more reps at LG. I feel confident you will see Awosika starting at guard, but letting Pipkins still "compete" for LG might be a veteran respect sort of thing.

The Chargers depth chart shows Pipkins behind both Alt & Slater with Burke #3 behind Pipkins at RT.

The Our Lads and ESPN depth Charts show Pipkins behind Slater at LT and Burke behind Alt @ RT.

Team depth charts very often defer to veterans, but if Slater had to miss a stretch i am betting you that the team will go to Burke on the field at RT and slide Alt to LT. He is already better.

Swing tackle is a pretty important role, especially with 2 tackles coming off major injuries. If Pipkins is entrenched in that role I don't think you are pissing around playing him at guard so much in practice.

Did people think he was actually on the bubble entering 2026 if he continued to perform like he had?

I hope Pipkins is displaced as swing tackle, and I would love to se Burke do it. I just don't see it yet.

Yep. I didn't see that much from Tucker, to be honest.

Same here. He doesn't have NFL measurables and he didn't show he had the talent to overcome it.

I have now heard Thomas Martinez and Money Smith say Burke is ahead now. Encouraging.

Good luck Fleet. What draft slot do you have?

[Charge!]

We are the fourth team to try

but our staff have improved many low budget FA's we have signed... so there is a chance this could work out?....maybe not but a chance?
