    Article on minicamp

    Since things are slow around here, I thought I'd throw this article out there. Maybe it'll get a comment or three.

    This is not the excitement you are looking for...

    kind of a ho hum article....main point is little drama is a good thing I guess?

    im excited to see year two under Lynn, Bradley and the Whiz.

    Losing Henry sucks but our WR core is loaded and we are pretty capable passing. The offensive line is healthy and I like where it ended up with Pouncey as a surprise gift. Lots of youth on that line.

    The D barely mentioned could be special if they can pickup where they left off. Verrett finally healthy makes for arguably the best secondary in the division if not the league with the experience our CBs had last year plus our stud safety being thrown in with Addai. The DL may have a gift with the suspension...we may get to see our rookie get early reps and hopefully earn his spot in the rotation and force an overpaid DL out.

    and oh snap...we have a place kicker...no two or three that arent rookies finally...that worth a W or two

    im excited...not ho hum

        Even more on mini camp: Derwin James one of many defensive additions who could be a difference-maker on the Chargers' defense

        Etc.

          I love the camraderie of the D backfield. They seem to thrive on competing to see who makes the big play, then they all celebrate it. Gotta have emotion and personal motivation to excel. And they have it.
          Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.
          The Wasted Decade is done.

            He is a more complete player than McCain. Sounds very encouraging. 265 is pretty light for him.

              Best news out of minicamp... no new injuries.

              I hope they don't do anything stupid for the next 6 weeks.

                Agree!
                I don't give a hoot about OTAs or Minicamps. I just don't want there to be any injuries. Other than that, there is nothing to write about as they aren't even in pads.
                So it's nice to hear Verrett is healthy but I don't expect him to him to be not far after preseason so I'm really not counting on him. If he somehow stays healthy it is just a bonus but at this point, means nothing til they put on the pads.

                  Lol, I'd guess yes. It's a Minicamp! What's to cringe about?

                    I am skeptical, too. Perryman and Verrett can take this defense over the top. Both great in the time they are on the field and are major difference makes. But both miss a lot of games.
