Quarterbacks

Philip Rivers

Charlie Whitehurst

Brad Sorensen: Would be first time since 2010 Chargers have carried three QBs. Has the tools to be worthwhile project for Frank Reich.

Johnnie Troutman

David Molk

Steve Schilling

Tight end

Antonio Gates

John Phillips

Eddie Royal

Robert Meachem: $5 million reasons he makes the roster. Working with Royal and Allen as kickoff returner.

Defensive line

Corey Liuget

Cam Thomas

Kendall Reyes

Kwame Geathers: Undrafted rookie is seeing steady reps behind Thomas at nose tackle.

Jarius Wynn

Damik Scafe: Getting lots of work, but Chargers are still monitoring the market for veteran DL depth.

Dwight Freeney

Jarret Johnson

Larry English

Tourek Williams

Thomas Keiser: He and T. Williams getting abundant reps with Dwight Freeney hampered by minor leg injury.

Inside linebackerCornerback

Derek Cox

Shareece Wright

Johnny Patrick: Can play outside or in slot and has more experience than other possible reserves.

Steve Williams

Safety

Eric Weddle

Brandon Taylor

Marcus Gilchrist: Probably starts season at strong safety. Can play corner and is excellent in the slot as well.

Jahleel Addae: Rookie making most of second-team reps at strong safety with Taylor rehabbing knee injury.

Placekicker

Nick Novak

Punter

Mike Scifres

Long snapper

Mike Windt

Fighting chance

[Antonio's Gates]

no way they carry only 4 backs.

[Beerman]

Baker, Hill, and Fozzy will all be eligible for the PS.

I like how Gehlken says that today was Flukers best practice a few hours after Acee criticizes him.

The predicted roster seems fairly accurate. I think that Beltre may overtake Keisen for that last OLB spot.

I also like Josh Johnson to make the roster in place of Brandon Taylor who I think starts on the PUP list.

[Boltdog]

Vet OL Ohrnberger is probably going to get every opportunity in preseason to make the team ahead of guys like Troutman or Schilling, unless Acee is somehow implying here that Fluker is eventually moving to OG. If any of the starters get hurt at CB or along the DL, we are in serious trouble. We all know the backups are very weak at those positions (along with SS), but this projection makes it even more apparent...

Like i said it sounds personal with Fluker. Canepa made him sound like an idiot when he made a rare appearance recently. Mocking him for his remarks regarding Fluker. I cant say one way or another if Fluker ends up being on the starting unit to start his career. I think he probably does...but if it comes from the mouth of Acee im always taking it for whats it worth. And thats absolutely zero. I just cant allign myself with his thinking. Its why i dont get political news from Fox or CNN. Its just biased. No attack on Acee but i think its sort of his downfall and why so many people dont respect him.

Why do you assume that was Gehlken saying that?

And Acee didnt really criticize Fluker today.

All he said is he isnt top 5. Probabaly means he sees Dunlap and Starks as better bookends right now.

[Fleet]

Its day one in pads but ok. Not sure the coaches even know after one day in pads. So i dont understand his comment that the coaches know they just wont admit it. Thought that came out of his ass. At least he realizes that hes a rookie and is still learning. Then went on to praise his work ethic.

Yes, Fluker's work ethic, motor & physicality are evident. Just scuffling while learning.

[Stinky Wizzleteats+]

If he wasnt here Starks would be with the first team as well as Dunlap at the tackle position. Having a vet like Starks alows us to give Fluker more reps at RT with the first team. Those reps are much more valuable to Fluker than Starks...

[homeless simpson]

serious question: do we really need to carry 3 qbs? Clipboard Haysoos isn't going to be the answer anymore than Sorenson will be as a rookie if anything happens to Rivers.

[Formula 21]

Last I saw, Gatson couldn't defend a tree.

[thelightningwill]

Last I saw, Gatson couldn't defend a tree.

Trees are pretty tall. Gatson would have to jump pretty high to bat down a pass to a tree.

[Grinners]

OIP those 6 WRs you picked are the best on paper but I can see us trying to trade one of them and sticking with a younger guy for Special Teams. Several teams could use a good WR and I think those 6 are all really good, but our team may be better off trading one of them. We will see how that plays out?
Possible trades with NE, Phily, NYJ, Buffalo, & SF.........
