Telesco and Spanos should look at what Seahawks have done and follow blueprint

[oneinchpunch]

Yo, OIP...what's the latest home-town buzz about the Broncos now? I'm guessing that their attitudes have reverted back to one of AFC invincibility and they feel they will sail through the playoffs and on to the SB. But, surely, they must be concerned about the Seahawks, no? Or even the Saints? Or do they think that both teams beatable in a neutral setting? And...is anyone still concerned about Manning in cold weather?

Inquiring minds need to know.

Last I heard they are pretty nervous. And a lot of complaining.

But I haven't heard much this week. I'm in so cal. Almost went to the game but couldn't get out of some morning commitments.

While the defense certainly played better yesterday against the Gnats, I still think a switch to a 4-3 would be very beneficial to the team. Like Fleet said we need to replace JJ at LB in that case but Te'o will be fine as a 4-3 OLB and Butler would plug right in also. If we keep him that is. Ingram looked good out there for his return but I still believe he is better suited as a 4-3 DE.

Would've preferred that.

You all want to replace JJ, but who exactly are we going to replace him with? We are hardly in a position to replace one of our best players on D. He's the one that does the dirty work.

We have enough holes to worry about before we create more right now. Only so many draft picks + dead money cap hit.

Have u seen JJ without his shirt on?

Me either...

Replace JJ with Wes Chandler. Problem solved.

In semi seriousness, the Chargers hopefully learned not to cut starters without first finding better starters.

Defense certainly looked better yesterday with JJ out there, and Ingram for 13 snaps.

And somewhere, out there...Yubaking is smiling.

This wasn't a lesson that needed learning. When rebuilding, you cut aging/overpriced players for younger/cheaper players who might develop into solid players within the system. The Chargers did it right, and it's already starting to pay dividends. The rebuild on defense was never a 1-year project.
