Mike in Syracuse Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 Correction - McLovin is the #2 CB most of the time but Brooks has been in some at that spot. McLovin scares the sh** out of me. McKelvin has all the physical tools to be a great CB in the NFL. The area he struggles with is turning to see the ball when it's in the air. My hope is that a much improved defense will mean that he has to hold coverage for a lot less time. Nothing improves the play of your CB's like a DL in the QB's face!
SBUffalo Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 As we get close to the first preseason game, I'm interested in any comments on some of the players that we haven't heard too much about in the early stories / anecdotes... -- Ron Brooks,.... expecting his role to grow this year?? -- Marcus Easley,.... have seen a few notes on some long catches, but certainly not gettng much press?? -- Aaron Williams,... how is transition going to SS, depth chart that includes Byrd indicates him as the starter?? -- Marcell Dareus,... not sure how he's doing in camp at the moment?? -- Kyle Williams,... is he fully back from heel injury?? -- Manny Lawson,.... only big FA signing, but not much on how he's doing?? Any comments on these guys and others flying under the radar that I missed would be appreciated.... Manny Lawson is by no means a big FA signing. He's a rotational player. I like him for Pettine's defense and am glad we signed him, but he's not a big FA signing.
Captain Hindsight Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 How is Chas Rheingold doing this camp? Ask the Chargers
K-9 Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 Garrison Sanborn. Hey, somebody had to do it. GO BILLS!!!
DDD Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 Haven't heard much on the WR Woods from USC. Heard Kolb say he ran great routes during OTA's but therwise he's been silent during camp.
FluffHead Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 Haven't heard much on the WR Woods from USC. Heard Kolb say he ran great routes during OTA's but therwise he's been silent during camp. To the contrary, he was mic'd up recently on bb.com
cage Posted August 8, 2013 Author Posted August 8, 2013 Your sentence should read either "any players" or "a player." Also, there should be a period at the end of your sentence. Lastly, "Darius" should be in quotes. You have a lot of mistakes for such a short sentence. Perhaps you shouldn't be correcting somebody else's mistakes. Facial La Fleur,... total facial!!

I didn't know we had Grammar police here. My point is that fthere is really not much of a reason for someone to not know how the name of our 3rd year top draft pick is spelled. In fact I see that the the op was just corrected the last name earlier this morning to 'Dareus'. I have no issue with punctuation or grammatical mistakes since its easy to make those mistakes. But misspelling someone's name that has appeared multiple times in the media already? Its a bit disprespectful. Lets try an amusing exercise . How are these names: Bruce Smythe Thurman Tomas Darryl Tally Eric Molds

YoloinOhio Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 Ask the Chargers Starting for SD. They were realllly thin on the OL. Cool, thanks. As far as Duke, I believe he got a concussion early and just recently was cleared for contact again. That's all I got. Thanks - hope he's OK.

How are these names: Bruce Smythe Thurman Tomas Darryl Tally Eric Molds That's kind of silly.... Ol 99 has an unusual spelling... its understzndzbld to get it wring. we all know who was meant. It's just not a common name like Jarius Bird.

ICanSleepWhenI'mDead Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 Ezekiel Ogawbundi. I have not heard even a whisper about him.
boyst Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 Scott is now listed at Will. FYI Having Lawson everywhere is what worries me. We saw Poz everywhere. We haven't heard from Kolb. Not in almost a week. And that disturbs me greatly. I know he is injured but this is not good at all. He needs to be on the field, leading, learning playing.
bladiebla Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 Mike Jasper because he's with the Giants? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Jasper Matt Barkley or Ryan Nassib. Giants | Likely will keep three QBs Mon, 15 Jul 2013 13:42:33 -0700 The New York Giants likely will keep three quarterbacks on their final roster to allow QB Ryan Nassib develop. QB David Carr likely will be the No. 2 quarterback because Nassib may not be ready for that role.

Vick connected with WR DeSean Jackson on two long touchdown scores. Vick tossed three TDs on the day and had some nice scrambles. Foles looked average and QB Matt Barkley struggled. Foles threw an interception and Barkley was only 8-for-16 with a touchdown pass and interception. Foles has held onto the ball too long and has been indecisive.

If that dude would be able to feel the ball like Gillmore he would be elite.
The Big Cat Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 He's a prowbowler superstar. In Madden That tool and his video exemplify why I don't play online.
