Charger MVP 1st Quarter of Season

[OhioBolt]

No doubt it is Philip Rivers

Big Credit though has to go to Joe D'Alessandris the O-line coach he's coaching for real, who would of thought the line play would be as good as it has been with all the injuries. I think he spends time with the line refining techniques, from starters to the backups, what we have seen from the transition of Clary at guard, backups starting from Johnnie Troutman and Mike Harris stepping in and not getting Rivers killed, and being able to run a little. Here is the scary thing the starters only played two complete games together. They are still developing chemistry together, and Joe D'Alessandris is coaching the whole unit up, the only lineman that really looked bad is Rich Ohrnberger and I simply see it as he isn't that good period.

Wel said. I think I would agree with everything you say. I also would say that Gates deserves mention. He's been clutch for us despite that goal line mistake in Philly.

I completely agree and would add that the coaching of McCoy and play calling of Whisenhunt has been a huge improvement over the worst HC in the NFL (a.k.a. Norv Turner, a.k.a. :shit

I was going to say Freeney.

I'm not knocking Coach D'A, but I'm pretty sure this is what ALL Offensive Line Coaches do.

He's done a good job. Let's hope he keeps it up. But as mentioned in other threads...gameplanning and playcalling have definately helped the line play as well.

I'd throw a little love towards Woodhead. He and Rivers have gelled nicely.

I think gameplanning, playcalls and Rivers have helped the OL as much as anything.

Biggest issue I see going forward are road games. Gotta work on those hand signals.

Well all Offensive Line Coaches coach and I was stating his coaching is better, and no doubt he benefits from the game planning and playcalling. Coach D'A is the same O-line coach that was at Buffalo he had their OL clicking too and they had no notable superstars on that Offense, Ryan Fitzpatrick at QB, WR Steve Johnson known more for quotes and dropping the ball, Fred Jackson had a couple of good years, but the Bills O-line benefit from from coach D'A. Pittsburg Steeler have just as many offensive line issues as us, why aren't they playing better on offense and are 0-4, The Oakland Raiders OL has a lot of injuries too, but they are 1-3 and not playing great on offense.


All O-line Coaches as you stated, some coaches just do it better!!!

MVP stands for most valuable player. If we are picking coaches, then they would be MVCs.
