Chargers at Chiefs (-4.5) Pre Game Discussion (Wk 14)

[PhilaBoltster]

so what'd I miss this week, we signed another former high round bust WR? counting Chark, Raegor, QJ, and the new guy we can start the "bust club"

Who is next for us to sign? Kadarius Toney, Jahan Dotson, John Ross?

Shenault's Combine 40 time was 4.58, not exactly blazing. He's not real tall but he's thick and he can bully DBs. I remember him doing that to Chargers' DBs when the Jags came to SoFi in 2020. He's also shifty for a big man, he was returning kickoffs for the 'Hawks this season and returned one for 97 yds to the house earlier this year. I think of him as a poor, poor man's Deebo. The fact that Hortiz picked him up means something. Hortiz has proven he knows how to evaluate talent and bring in players who over-achieve. He's had a few misses (Bozeman, Hurst) but most of his acquisitions have been gold.

You left Chark off the "misses" list. And the 2 receivers he did draft. He may have a blind spot when it comes to guys who can catch.

He took one to the house while running 4.6? Huh. I hope this isnt the start of our next Deebo 2.0 (Deebo 3.0?) imaginations.

Deebo doesn’t really seem like Deebo anymore, btw. He had one monster year, i think it was 3 years ago. Hasn’t looked fully the same since. He is not close to the most significant part of SF offense, he’s more like #4-ish on the skill player pecking order there. Of course if we pick up our #4 contributor off the street, thats great.

I am all for seeing what he’s got if coaches see something in practices, I doubt he’s ready this week after just a couple days on the team.

At this point it's one game, hell one PLAY at a time. If we can capture lightning in a bottle with a guy like Chark, Shenault to steal a game, then let's fucking go.

I don't think anyone has any aspirations that these guys are foundational players for the future.

Look at the Chiefs and the value they got out of castoffs like Hardman and Tooney.

It's a double edged sword too, these guys are on the street for a reason. Reagor, for example, probably cost us the game against the Cardinals with that fumble into the end zone. Don't want a guy like Shenault fumbling the game away, but I trust Harbaugh to pick and choose spots for these guys to contribute.

20-17

Just not sure who.

Popper's analysis this week of how teams shut down the Chargers offense focused on shifting from zone to man. The only guy that can beat man coverage is Conk and they doubled him in the 2nd half against Atl. The Chiefs play more man than most and will certainly play it even more against the Chargers. Do we have a counter?

Palmer needs to step up.

Also run the damn ball.

Chark? Shenault? If not, no.

Surprised that Johnston can't beat anyone.
Poor route runner, bad hands, can't adjust for football, small catch radius, poor hand fighting skills, tall, not high top end speed .... good job TT! Checked off all your boxes.

Another TT bust

Harbaugh said DJ Chark had a very good week of practice

OK.

[el_jefe999]

Best counter to man is WR that can win on slants and one on one matchups but since we don't have that(other than conk) it's going to have to be the QB running attack and screens to RBs with YAC as DBs will have their back turned.

I didn't include Chark because he hasn't played at all, and the two WRs he drafted were 7th rounders. I'm not going to count them against Hortiz.
