The first goal of any NFL team is to make sure it has a “franchise” quarterback. What separates Detroit and Tampa Bay from the other top drafting teams is that both feel they have now found a young quarterback prospect they can build around. Because of this, the motivation for a team ...Published on: 1st April, 2010
Rather than delve into a full overview of the San Diego Chargers as a whole, which would expand to elephantine proportions, this will begin a position-by-position look at the San Diego Chargers and what prospects that position holds for both the draft and the 2010 season. We will begin with what ...Published on: 31st March, 2010
San Diego has appeared to have shored up its cornerback situation for 2010 with the signing of free agents Nathan Vasher and Donald Strickland. This gives the team four solid cornerbacks to give both quality and depth at the position along with an added physicality. It is far from a long-term solution, ...Published on: 31st March, 2010
San Diego has surprised more than a few with an interesting offseason. Not only have they signed two significant free agents (roughly the same number as signed between 2006 and 2009), but they signed two free agents at the same position. Nathan Vasher and Donald Strickland combine to give the team ...Published on: 26th March, 2010
With rumors regarding the Donovan McNabb sweepstakes heating up, it seems teams that looked to address their quarterback situations early may end up regretting their decision. At 33 McNabb may no longer be the long-term option, but he appears to have at least 2-3 solid years left, as well ...Published on: 25th March, 2010
The San Diego Chargers enter the draft with running back as a glaring need. They are virtually assured to draft a running back within the first 2-3 rounds in an attempt to find a new lead-back to replace Ladainian Tomlinson. In addition, it would not be altogether surprising if ...Published on: 24th March, 2010
The NFL has officially taken the first step in amending the rules for its overtime format. At present, a team winning the coin toss cannot by virtue of a field goal alone win on its first possession. To win, a team needs to either score a touchdown on its opening possession ...Published on: 24th March, 2010
When San Diego entered the offseason they knew they would have some holes to fill, and had a relatively lackluster draft with which to fill it. Sure, it was superior to say a Chicago Bears' team that mortgaged two-years' worth of first-round draft picks in order to land quarterback Jay Cutler, ...Published on: 19th March, 2010
The Arizona Cardinals and Miami Dolphins have now come to accords with players who spent 2009 on the other’s team. Miami gets the benefit of unloading Joey Porter, an aging dissident who no longer appeared to fit into the team’s long-term plans, while adding Karlos Dansby, a stud run-stuffer in the ...Published on: 19th March, 2010
San Diego has seen a large number of former starters departing this offseason. Four of the team's departed have seen at least one pro bowl (Ladainian Tomlinson, Jamal Williams, Antonio Cromartie,Kassim Osgood) but will that former success translate after varying 2009 seasons made them expendable? All are expected to be ...
