San Diego Chargers Offseason Position Needs Pt. 9: Inside Linebacker
Published on: 15th April, 2010
Very similar to the safety position, San Diego has great depth at the inside linebacking position while lacking any true game-breaker. The rotation among Stephen Cooper, Brandon Siler, Tim Dobbins, and Kevin Burnett is much more active, with non-starters Dobbins and Burnett still seeing a lot of field time even when ...San Diego Chargers Offseason Position Needs, Part 8: Outside Linebacker
Published on: 14th April, 2010
San Diego's need at outside linebacker is completely dependent on how they view current starter Shawne Merriman. The restricted free agent tender afforded Merriman only guarantees they will be able to retain his services for one year. Unless they can strike a long term deal they will once more be forced ...San Diego Chargers Offseason Position Needs: Part 7 Safety
Published on: 13th April, 2010
Safety has been a weak point for the San Diego Chargers for the past several years. Following Marlon McCree’s departure from San Diego after the 2007 season, the position went from weak to downright awful behind Clinton Hart and an inexperienced Eric Weddle. Shortly into the 2009 season the team stabilized ...NFL Diva Wideouts No Longer Worth the Trouble
Published on: 12th April, 2010
The trade of Santonio Holmes to the New York Jets for the bargain-basement price of a fifth-round draft pick may just serve to punctuate an idea permeating across the NFL. Big-time wide receivers may no longer be worth the upset they can cause, especially in an NFL where passing offenses spread ...San Diego Chargers Offseason Position Needs, Part Six: Cornerback
Published on: 12th April, 2010
San Diego enters 2010 with its deepest cornerback roster in a long time. Quentin Jammer is still entrenched in his position as the team’s primary corner, but now has the potential for a bit more help. 2008 first-round selection Antoine Cason is expected to earn the starting role opposite Jammer. His fundamentals ...San Diego Chargers: A Pre-Draft Look at AJ Smith’s History
Published on: 8th April, 2010
The current notion of AJ Smith is that of an enigmatic talent evaluator.

But how have Smith’s drafts truly stacked up? Where have his strengths ...San Diego Chargers Offseason Position Needs, Part Five: Running Back
Published on: 6th April, 2010
Here it is. After looking at the team’s array of relatively settled positions the first of the team’s major concerns reach the table for the final offensive size of the offseason overview. At present the team has two running backs in its stable, expensive speedster Darren Sproles and waiver-pickup Marcus Mason. ...San Diego Chargers Offseason Position Needs, Part 4: Offensive Line
Published on: 5th April, 2010
The San Diego Chargers are an interesting group along the offensive. The team yielded very slim sack totals considering the strong passing offense that often went deep behind a strong-armed but slow-footed quarterback. They also proved limited in the running game, failing to open significant holes and lacking push in short ...San Diego Chargers Offseason Position Needs Part 3: Tight End
Published on: 2nd April, 2010
While usually lost among higher profile positions, strong play from the tight end has become a team staple within the San Diego Chargers offense. It begins with one of the game’s elite receiving threats at the position in Antonio Gates. Across the past six years he has averaged 76 catches ...San Diego Chargers Offseason Position Needs, Part Two: Wide Receiver
Published on: 1st April, 2010
On the heels of the easily addressed quarterback position is a look at a much less clear-cut area: wide receiver. The starting position is securely addressed in 2010, with Vincent Jackson and Malcolm Floyd combining for nearly 2,000 yards despite Floyd not locked into a starting role until nearly midseason (as ...Featured Sponsors
