That sucks.

Ron Rivera with a cancer diagnosis....

Rivera is a good coach and a stand up guy. I've wished several times he'd become the Chargers' coach. I hope his medical treatment goes well. We need more guys like Riverboat Ron in this world.

Great Defensive coach. He's one of the best d coach's we had outside of wade phillips...

This from the Bengals site;

Joe Burrow certainly looks like the overall No. 1 pick (and several veterans will gladly confirm it for you with crooked smiles) as he keeps the whole Hollywood Heisman theatrics going. Who else steps into his first NFL scrimmage drive and sifts his first six passes for a touchdown? Give him a cigar.

And according to several reports Tua struggled:

* mention of Tua repeatedly under throwing deep receivers

Or Hal Habib, of the Palm Beach Post:

"Tagovailoa appeared to be overly hyped for the occasion, consistently overshooting receivers. When he was able to make connections, often it was because receivers such as Chester Rogers and Preston Williams were using all of their 6-foot-plus frames to make adjustments and haul in passes. He also tended to lead receivers out of bounds rather than give them space to walk the tightrope.

To say he needed to settle down would be an understatement. Red flag? Tagovailoa is, after all, coming from Alabama. The SEC. Has been under pressure for years. That’s all true, but this is the NFL and this is a huge step from college to the pros. If Dan Marino couldn’t get thrown into this kind of cauldron and emerge with a starting job — and no, he did not open the 1983 season as QB1 — it’s unrealistic to expect Tagovailoa to beat out 16-year veteran Fitzpatrick. Especially not on the strength of a truncated training camp.

If the Fins are smart, they'll bring Tua along slowly, and let him sit behind Fitz...NFL learning curve for QB's can be brutal...for some guys...

Bungles week 1 overview of potential advantages:

Their big FA his offseason was CB Trae Waynes, he’s been out with a pectoral injury and likely won’t play us.

starting WR John Ross is dealing with CV19 and it isn’t clear if he’ll be back to play us, either way hes missing preparation time and isn’t looking good for him

2019 6th round pick RB Rodney Anderson was waived after a failed physical (ACL injury last year)

WR AJ Green dealing with a hammy
not practicing today and won’t participate in scrimmage tomorrow.

DT Josh Tupou opted out

again, this isn’t to be insensitive, my focus is really just on week one. Obviously I feel good against any rookie qb even one as talented and Joe Burrow but these added adversities make me feel very confident.

cant wait for the actual week 1 thread

Excellent. I give zero fucks about other teams’ troubles, injuries or problems. No quarter given. I will send condolences if one of them dies, otherwise there are no asterisks for game day roster contingent and no team has ever given a fuck or dropped down a gear when the Chargers were depleted, such as playing almost a full season with a minor league OL.

I hope every team has a rash of one-week injuries the week we play them. Game day rosters decide championships.

If I was picking one, i sure would have taken him. Would of had the contract locked down before draft night.

For those who need more DJ Fluker news:

When Jacob Rice met D.J. Fluker this spring, two things about the new client he’d agreed to train at his Seattle-area facility struck him, one obvious and one less so.

The first: “He’s a huge dude. Huge. That dude is just a monster.” The second: “He didn’t understand food at all.”

This was the Duality of D.J. that Rice came to grasp. Here was one of the nicest guys he would ever get to know, one of the smartest, one of the most athletically gifted, a 6-foot-5 frame you would dream up in a lab for an NFL interior lineman. And here was someone who seemed almost willfully ignorant of what his body needed to survive in professional football. There was something still to unlock in his game.
