Chargers at Raiders Pre-Game Discussion (Week 18)

[Bolt4Knob]

I'm a bengal fan this week. If we can get the 5th seed it is worth risking injury. The ravens playmakers are our worst possible matchup.

Now, I agree with this. If you have a chance at the 5th seed and not plahying the Ravens - do it

Its if they don't have a chance at the 5th seed only

Totally agree if you can't get the 5 rest as many starters as you can especially those that have been battling injuries.

But this is a good game for Alohi Gilman to get snaps no matter what. Granted, if the game is meaningless, don't over do it. But start working Gilman back into the rotation. Maybe even the new Safety Edmunds, chance to get some reps.

With Derius Davis getting more involved in the offense, it puts him at risk of injury, he's very small, exactly the same height/weight as Tank Dell, who has suffered season-ending injuries in his rookie and soph seasons. When DD went airborne to catch that TD pass in NE, I winced a bit when he hit the turf. If he is injured during a game, I suppose McConkey could return kicks. But that would not be ideal, Ladd is too important to the offense to be distracted by returning kicks also, or putting him at increased risk of injury.

I think they should bring up Laviska Shenault from the PS. He was returning kicks for the Seahawks until just a few weeks ago, and he took one back for a TD in Seattle. As a WR, Shenault can't possibly be worse than the totally useless DJ Chark, can he? He wasn't heavily used as a WR in Seattle, but he did have 5 receptions before he was released. He's been on the PS for a month now, long enough to be familiar with the system. If DD does get injured during a game, they would have a legit, experienced KR to fall back on if Shenault is on the roster. Why the even keep Chark on the roster is a mystery to me at this point.

If McConkey should EVER, for ANY reason, be asked to return kicks the entire coaching staff should be fired on the spot . . . . . . . . . .

I think the backup returned is Hassan Haskins. And you are correct - no way should Ladd be returining punts or kicks

Put a tackling dummy back there, with instructions to fair catch anything in bounds . . . . . . . . . . . .

Rolf's charity of choice was "kicks for critters"

After a miss there was a chant from Section 201

"Feed Rolf to the critters"

"Feed Rolf to the critters


"Feed Rolf to the critters

WOW only 87% at less than 30 yards?! That is HORRIBLE! I didnt remember Rolf being that bad but I do remember he didnt have much of a leg.

[Charge!]

Ladd has already lined up as punt returner this season.... cant remember if davis was dinged up, but Ladd was back there to FC punts...... you need a smart guy with great hands in certain situations where you cannot afford a muff or bad decision...... Ladd is smarter, bigger and tougher than Davis.....

Wes Chandler lined up as punt returner in playoff game..... Coryell played alot of starters on ST's like Winslow who blocked kicks....

KA has also done it in critical situations.....

not true.... Ladd has already done it.... and has great skills..... also smart enough to not lose yardage , etc...

I’ve been itching to see Laviska on the field and given a chance to make a play. Very curious …

Random thought but Haskins running style reminds me of someone, can't put my finger on it but it's something I think of every time he gets a carry.
