Chargers at Texans Pre-Game Discussion (Wild Card Round)

[Boltdiehard]

No update on Slater, but this seems to be legitimate and just posted to the transactions thread: Ezekiel Elliott is signing with the Chargers.

Not surprised by this at all I was wondering where he’d land when he asked for his release.

Its official but this makes me think Edwards is done for the year.

I just hope it doesn't mean Dobbins tweaked his knee in the Raider game

My first thought when I saw it.

I'll be darned. Hortiz is the man!

I think JK is fine, Gus probably done tho.

Zeke is still a good pass blocker and might provide some short yardage juice. Good to have another experienced player as we head into the playoffs. My guess is Kimani won't be active and we go with JK/Haskins/Zeke.

Zeke is famous for being the best at pass pro. And crucial yards will be tough in Houston and beyond. Perfect.

Edit. Agree w/Boltx !
We are gonna want to slog it to slow the roll on these potent offenses.

What positive plays? They are few and far between now. Not worth the penalties he is responsible for. Mack makes more positive plays than Bosa and I can't remember if he's ever been flagged for being offsides as a Charger.

Babe Ruth hit more homers than Lou Gehrig, is that a reason to kick Lou off your team? Babe can’t take every at-bat and play all 9 positions at once, he’s gonna need some help.

[Charge!]

I just hope it doesn't mean Dobbins tweaked his knee in the Raider game

hope so too!

Any news on Slaters MRI?

Chargers won’t announce anything. My guess, when first injury report is REQUIRED (is it tomorrow since a Sat game, or the usual Wednesday?), we will learn

Slater … DNP … ~~~

Post-practice news conf, Jim will divulge that he’s working through something. The following day we will learn

Slater … LP ~~~

The last injury report, they have to also declare game status:

Slater … LP or FP Questionable

I’m betting he plays. I got absolutely nothing behind that, just … betting

I wonder how long it takes him to learn a dozen or so plays to sub in a few reps
