Bold Prediction About Our Defense - D Packages And Starters

[blueman]

And did Brown come on enough before getting injured to secure a spot? If everybody is healthy at the end of TC...I can see him getting cut. He's not bad, but we may well end up with better. It would be a tough cut but there will be a few of those this year IMO.

Jatavis. Watkins. Geremy Davis. Detrez. Square. Virgil. Facyson.
Tough cuts coming.
Maybe one of these.

Probably a couple. We are that good.

Here's a thought I never thought I'd have. Davis is in competition with Dzub for a job.

Davis, Brown and White are all in competition for a job at Will. Are we keeping 3 Wills? Is there even a 3rd Will spot on a squad? Especially ours where we probably keep an extra QB, OT and WR.

So if Davis isn't the starter, he has to play special teams. Which puts him in direct competition with one of our ST aces, Dzubner. I thought Dzub was a certain cut. I'm not so certain now since I don't expect Davis to play teams.

Special teams tackles, 2018. Dzub was #9 in the NFL. Not to shabby.

1	Adrian Phillips	Los Angeles Chargers	S	17
9	Nick Dzubnar	Los Angeles Chargers	LB	13
19	Uchenna Nwosu	Los Angeles Chargers	LB	11
19	Rayshawn Jenkins	Los Angeles Chargers	S	11
26	Geremy Davis	Los Angeles Chargers	WR	10
49	Austin Ekeler	Los Angeles Chargers	RB	8

Kyzir & Davis will be on the field quite a bit together in our base .05.
They both have the size, speed, instincts to eliminate TEs/RBs in the passing game (in zone or M2M) and be a force against the rungame.
Ill be keeping an eye on Tranquill in TC. With his instincts/athleticism, he may push for snaps in certain packages/matchups.

If Roderic Teamer has a few preseason games with shutdown coverage and picks, I think Watkins could be cut. Bradley sure is high on Teamer. Sure hope Detrez doesn't get cut--he's produced every time he's been called on. And we'll need him for the post-Gordon committee. If the Bolts keep Cox, I'd rather cut Watt than Detrez.

It will be crowded everywhere, even Oline.

I will go on record as saying i am 100% convinced Dzub is a goner. U don't spend that many resources to improve speed and talent at a position group and keep a ST player that is a huge negative on D. Also, pay attention to AL talking abiut the young guys being drafted to help ST this year.

0% chance if it comes down to Davis and Dzub that they keep Dzub. 0. There will he plenty of youth to play ST.

[Formula 21]

Another thought is that TT has forced the age of this team down. Last year, 4 UDFAs made the team. Most of the draft picks make the team every year. TT likes youth.

Davis is the type of player who could transition into coaching after he retires. He is a true leader/coach on the field. Seau was the same.

Rivers registers 2 open field tackles LOL.

Honestly, i don't get the Dzubbie love on special teams. In my mind he's good to decent; nowhere near the player Karim Osgood was. I would literally throw up if Davis were cut in preseason, and the situation arises were enough safeties and linebackers are out and the coaching staff is forced to play Dzubner on D in a big game. This nausea would not be confined to me, i can assure you of that.

I still remember the Chargers missing out on that fumbled punt against KC in 2017 - biggest game of the year - because a Chiefs special teams player tossed Dzubner at the Charger posed to pick the fumble up. He's good for a few boneheaded plays on special teams each year.
