Welcome from the XFL, OT Storm Norton and TE Donald Parham Jr

[jubei]

Lamp was playing ORG in TC/PS before knee injury. Slauson was @OLG until injury then Feeney came in like game 6ish.

Slauson was on the roster last year?

I’m gonna guess we don’t take a LT in the draft anymore.

You should be banned. LOL

Camp fodder - he won't make the team.

not in first round...... TT has been preparing team for taking a rookie QB early or in trade...... TT already signed a pro bowl pair of linemen for right side which would block blind side of a left handed QB like Tua.......... every move made has been pointing that way......

Remember one thing is that TT values guys like Bosa who dominated every time they were on the field multiple years at a major program over guys who were ok but never dominated.....

Bill Polian was on NFL radio this morning and they asked him which QB he would take between Burrow and Tua if both were healthy...... and he said Tua but both are ver close....both have the the qualities of all the truely great QB's that you cannot teach..... He actually compared Tua to Mahomes because Tua also has a unique ability/instincts to create big game winning plays outside of the normal play design....

He believes both Tua and Burrow will be great elite type of QB's in NFL and ONLY concern is the injury factor...... you dont gamble on injuries for average NFL players, but if you are going to gamble on injured players only do so for rare generational players......

My guess is TT probably views things similarly since he learned from years of working under Polian....... my guess is that TT also knew he was going to be looking for a rookie QB before this past season started, so he has probably already had multiple interviews with Tua, Burrow, Hebert, Love, well before this pandemic started...... so he clearly knows already how he has them ranked on his board.

If the Chargers were sneaky smart, they would be letting out fake info that Tua was maybe off our board...... so maybe miami gets scared and trades up to take Hebert........ Before the Bosa draft, TT did nothing to dismiss the media rumor that Chargers were going to choose Ramsey.......when they wanted Bosa all along..... let media think we are taking hebert.....

Storm is a lock.

I think you are reading too much into signing Bulaga as a blind side for Tua. You notice he wasn't protecting Rodgers blindside....because that isn't what he is.

The right side was terrible, that's why we upgraded that side and why Schofield is still a free agent.

Hopefully Lamp will move to LG and stay healthy for a change and we draft another LT or OC.

and people say no one wants to play for the chargers. The fact is everyone sees how stacked our team is and wants to join in on it

We’ll see ♂️ I mean we went into last season with trey pipkins and Trent scott

Could be a plan C move in case of injury. Or maybe they are not happy with progress of Tevi.

Lynn just tell Storm to force the edge guy to always go the long way around, so the QB can step up or jump out the window. Even if you don't hold the block very long or almost whif, he still has to go around you. Just dont be a turnstile and let him straight through. Can you do that Storm? Do it better than Tevi and you can take his job.

At least on paper we're improving! Less payroll means that the TE might get a bigger paycheck down the road plus everyone knows that if you produce even as a walkon the chargers respect that with high pay regardless of draft slot. BuhhYa!

I wouldn't say we are stacked and certainly not at TE. After Henry, Green is just a blocking TE and a big downgrade. After Green, even worse. They see an opportunity to join this group coming from the XFL and a chance to get back in the NFL.

He had five other offers.

Chris Harris was offered more by the Raiders. Also chose the Chargers.
