Great value pick but the chargers secondary wasn't the teams weakness. They need a big run stopper on the Dline and should hope for Hurst in the second or Settle in the third.

They couldn't pass on James but they haven't solved a weakness either

Surely Safety was a weakness with Boston leaving no?

Couldn't disagree more, I think they've done a fantastic job.

All the defensive guys are very athletic and good tackles, this is what Bradley built his Seahawks defence on.

I think your hatred for them moving is clouding your judgment.

Derwin James was the absolute right pick and I expect him to really make a big impact but like OAOB said D line esp inside stinks right now. In round 2 Nwosu went a bit early for me, I'd have gone D line or Tackle there, Connor Williams was probably the best guy on the board there.

In round 3 I know they were going to pick Nnadi or Freeman the running back but with both gone they made a really bad pick in Jones. He's a 4th rounder at best. You might even have got Nwosu at this pick. Even still looking at who was on the board either of Phillips or Hurst is better than Jones. I know Hurst went in rd 5 to Raiders, cannot understand how he slid that far to be honest. Tim Settle was still there when they picked a poor center in the lad from UCLA. He is not going to make it, he is not better than Pulley. Crosby went 2 picks before him which was a killer.

Kyzir White was a good pick where they got him. The white WR looks decent value. I don't know much about the RB taken in rd 7 but if nothing else he is a genius in school.

I think Boston leaving did open a spot... and you simply couldn't pass on James when he fell. The only other player of similar value at that spot for me was teh QB Jackson.

Did you get yours what block you going for? anybody know which side the 'home team' occupies?

Justin10 · 01-05-2018 12:58pm

Ye got sorted, block 551, was quite annoying not knowing which side is the home side.

Got my ticket last night, just a single tho, site crashed when I had two earlier in the day, hoping to get a pair in returns for bringing herself when the returns come in, got category 5 level 1 sec 115, think it's the corner of the endzone, not sure if it's a good spot

tripperman · 02-05-2018 8:26am

Draft in the book now on to rookie mini camp I believe weekend after this, really happy with the draft class,
1 Derwin James, 33, a steal yeah I was hoping for Alabama linebacker Evans, but I had never expected Derwin to fall to us, I had expected him to go from pick 7-11, have to say the raiders kinda gifted him to us, they take a Edmunds instead of Miller I don't see Derwin getting to us,

2 Chena, 58, good pick extra pass rush which isn't a bad thing, but he's no slouch, he's decent in coverage not great just needs more reps and coaching, should beat out Kyle for that olb spot,

3 Justin Jones, 91, ok pick, not much talent left that I liked at dt after him, wasn't a fan of Tim Settle, Hurst the heart issue was safer not draft him, the risk is to big, jones could have traded back and still got him, he's a good run stopping dt, no pass rush tho

4 Kaizr White, 44, good pick good coverage skills great speed and tackling, moving from strong safety to linebacker tho, so not sure how that will suit him, he's going take snaps from Adrian Phillips I'm guessing at dime linebacker for a start till he gets up to speed

5 Scott Queensbury, 61, great pick can play guard or center, best suited to center tho, great blocker seen some big downfield run blocks that where very impressive, better than Spencer pulley, so should be the back-up to pouncey if he gets injured again, he's also a die-hard fan of the chargers and to honor his favorite player Nick Hardwick as a kid he's going to wear his number

6 Dylan Cantrell, 84, good pick, he's not the greatest route runner but he's a good blocker in the run game which should help Melvin Gordon out, seen clips of him making tough jump catches against good man coverage, expect him to be good depth who will look good with Philip getting him a target here and there,

7 Justin Jackson, 32, ok pick, honestly never heard of him, he's supposed to have set college record's, for a rounder worth a flyer, can't be much worse than some of the back-ups to Melvin and Austin,

Seen some good udfa signings that can make the roster that Texas tech qb can beat out geno hopefully, there's a guard/tackle from Colorado that has good upside could be a nice backup to tevi and barksdale,

Yeah that's him, I blanked on his name, only learned that after he signed with us, eric willimas of espn retweeted a video about him and signing with us as some Denver station covered his day three experience

Justin10 · 03-05-2018 9:13pm

That is pretty cool, definitely rooting for him to succeed somewhere after that lucky escape.

The Tony Brown the alabama corner we signed is meant to be quite a good slot corner, be one I'll be keeping an eye on even if we are stacked at the position.

Leslie91 · 19-06-2018 3:07pm

You lads all sorted for tickets to the game?... have yee booked flights & accommodation?

Justin10 · 19-06-2018 7:18pm

All set.. Flying out Saturday morning and home Monday. Forget where out tickets are for but one of the sidelines anyway near the front of the Upper tier.

Same here, going over Saturday morning. Back Sunday night. No accom booked yet though.

tripperman · 09-09-2018 9:57am

Well today is the first game of the season looking forward to it, very concerned how it will go with bosa out and no definite answer to when he will be available to play, Rochelle and Chena is going to have to work to fill his production,
Run defense is going to be a big factor, need to see philon, square and jones/mygill fill up the lanes, mebane I'm afraid is just not the player he was and is a glaring weakness that will be targeted by Kansas,

On offense we need Phillip to play safe protect the ball, don't need a lot of turnovers like he did last year, Gordon and Austin could add some good work in both rushing and receiving, think Mike Williams could show what he can bring to the team tonight after been injured last season,

looking forward to this one going to be s good game, think it's going to be a one score game that can go either way

Leslie91 · 10-09-2018 12:44pm

Didn't see the game but read about it. I see good ol special teams never changes... no idea why they would bring JJ Jones onto the 53, 1 fluke return in preseason does not a special teams demon make. Waste of a roster spot imho. And I see Travis is still doing the dropsies, what a waste of $ that lad is.

Oh and a sellout supposedly, 60:40 Chiefs fans was it?

Sell the team Spanos u moron, and let's move back where we belong.

setanta74 · 10-09-2018 12:49pm

Took a year off from the Chargers after the move. Found it hard to watch last year. Came back fully "re-charged" for this season.
Tuned in last night. Same old Chargers only the city is different.

Justin10 · 27-09-2018 11:27pm

Big game the weekend really should get back to 2-2 and then a good stretch of games we could pick up a chunk of wins.

Real pity about Joey, and unfortunately no one is offering up an alternative to help Melvin and the double team.

Anyone that's going to London, anyone going to the bolt pride party on the Saturday?

Where is the BP party on? I might venture by... still not going to the game though, anybody know the best sports bar in the city? I'm not going out to Wembley so won't be the green man for me.

tripperman · 01-10-2018 11:23am

Well that was a poor game last night actually thought we were going to lose it on the final drive of the 49ers, we still have a s##t show at kicker missing two pats, the long field goal I can accept 54 yarders are not gimmies like a pat, defense is poor so far, apart from Derwin James no standout player, Darius Phillion is playing well, offense gone 22 game's now without scoring a td on the opening drive of game's is concerning

I might stick my head into the Admiralty but won't goto the Tank and Paddle event thingie.

Drew Kaser cut... You have to just scratch your head.
Performing really well punting, surely someone else could hold the ball.

Was a good weekend, great to get the win.

Leslie91 · 01-11-2018 12:48pm

I see it's confirmed the Chargers will be doing another Intl game in 2019. A few thinking it will be the Packers in London as they've never been.

tijuanaboozer · 03-12-2018 5:39am

Go Bolts:P

Justin10 · 12-12-2018 7:02pm

So the Chargers are heading the playoffs.

Huge game tomorrow, really looking forward to it.
Hopefully we produce a performance and make them sweat against Seattle.

Also the Chargers look like they're heading to London again next year, confirmed as a home team for the international series next year.

Justin10 · 06-01-2019 11:07pm

Great win and performance for about 50 minutes.

Looking forward to next so much.. We really owe the Patriots one.

Paully D · 06-01-2019 11:49pm

Well done tonight guys.

You completely shut down the run game which was going to be the key.

All the best for the rest of the playoffs.

Big-time.. because it is the Pats (who I detest) I might even watch this one.

Adrian Phillips and Melvin Ingram yesterday wow.

Frankie Cortese · 07-01-2019 10:48am

I would love to see Rivers win or st the very least get to a SB but I think Chargers come up short against the Pats.

Couldn’t put away a rookie QB who did absolutely nothing for 3&1/2 quarters.

Brady is Foxborough is a totally different animal.

Might be a shoot out as Pats D not nearly as effective as Ravens D.

I agree it’s not but the Chargers dominated the Ravens for nearly 3 hours & could only win by 6.

They won’t dominate the Pats (as much as I would love it if they did).

I have a feeling they very well might dominate them. Run game is huge for us.
Ingram was a man possessed yesterday.
Bosa and Ingram getting after Brady will be a joy.

Hopefully Mebane plays, we'll know today if Henry is involved.

The Chargers D dominated, the O was awful... that has a lot to do with how good the Ravens D is. The Chargers O should put up many more points next weekend. Will be interesting to see how the D deal with Brady et al.

D9Male · 07-01-2019 1:10pm

Having two elite edge rushers is very important. Bosa and Ingram will give the Patriots O-line the vapours.

I just don't think the Chargers offence is playing well enough. Tough to see a Patriots loss.

Something like that could provide extra motivation for the others ie. do it for his daughter kinda thing... or it could go the other way and tire them out mentally.

OAOB · 10-01-2019 2:29pm

Fantastic to see Rivers back in the play-offs and with a legitimate team around him. Telesco has done a great job at building the roster and Lynn has brought real character to them. They don’t seem as flakey as previous Charger teams.
I don’t think they’ll win it all but I think they’ll win this weekend.

Justin10 · 10-01-2019 3:07pm

We've signed another kicker, Rose who'll take kick-offs to ensure Patterson can't return them. Was undrafted and signed with the Falcons

What happened??

j8wk2feszrnpao · 13-01-2019 11:30pm

Rochey18 wrote: »

Pats had a game plan that they executed perfectly. Short passes that were caught, gave the Chargers pass rush little time to get to Brady, and the Pats turned those short passes into nice gains (breaking tackles). Pats rarely in 3rd and long. Allowed them to run the ball as well. And dominated possession.

On the other side of the ball, the Pats got to Rivers early and got into his head big time. He lost control of things, the delay of games a sign of him being flustered. Apart from the opening drive, when Gilmore gave up the open TD, the Pats made everything tough for the receivers, and never left the Chargers really run the ball.

Brady was vintage, and his OL run blocked and pass protected really well. With the quick passes, it was too easy for Brady. Pats in the second half took their foot off the pedal and worked the clock.

Maybe it was the experience of being there and done that, or the extra week off, or the travel for the Chargers.... but it was mismatch tonight. Good season for the Chargers, and they are a better team than what turned up today.

The Mebane moment was a nice touch. As a dad of two, really felt for the guy. At the end of the day, it's a football game, not life or death.

Best of luck next season, you've a lot to build with going forward.

tripperman · 04-09-2019 8:17am

Season just days away so I thought I'd look this thread up and see if there's many if any of us left on here,

What does everyone think for the new season, I'm not overly confident I think 8-8 or 9-7 is the limit for the team, the reason be I have nlvery little confidence in the offensive line, especially the tackles Scott or tevi, I think they will have rivers under constant pressure and very little to no run game while Melvin is holding out, i like ekler and Jackson but don't think they can carry the full load especially against stacked box's inside the 5 where Melvin got most his tds, defense is going to carry this team I think, even without James they should be top 8 defensive unit, bosa Ingram and tillery upfront should be exciting to watch imo,
