Trent Scott passes first test in place of Chargers’ Russell Okung at left tackle
By JEFF MILLER AUG. 9, 2019 GLENDALE, Ariz. — As he spoke late Thursday night, at least three of his teammates stepped back, held up their phones and captured images of him answering questions from the media. “I can’t hang with you no more,” defensive lineman Justin Jones joked. “Big time.” Said center Scott Quessenberry, “Crazy, huh Justin?” Trent Scott laughed off the playful chiding as best he could and then got back to being famous. This is what can happen when playing left tackle in the NFL. “It’s different, coming from Grambling [State],” Scott said of all the attention he’s suddenly receiving. “I just try to stay locked in, stay focused on what I gotta do. Make sure I do my job.” The second-year pro started along the Chargers’ still-unsettled offensive front in the preseason opener, a 17-13 loss at Arizona. Scott is attempting to replace two-time Pro Bowler Russell Okung, who suffered a pulmonary embolism in June and, because he is on blood thinners, remains out indefinitely. Okung’s next scheduled checkup is at the end of August, the Chargers preparing to go into the season without the veteran who serves as quarterback Philip Rivers’ primary protector. “I think it was pretty solid,” Scott said of his performance. “I felt pretty good.” With veteran Mike Pouncey not dressed for the game, Dan Feeney moved from left guard to center and Forrest Lamp started in Fenney’s spot. Guard Michael Schofield and tackle Sam Tevi, the incumbents on the right side, rounded out the starting five up front. As the game progressed, coach Anthony Lynn shuffled and reshuffled the line as the Chargers attempt to find the best alignment while giving younger players more experience and versatility. Lamp, entering his third season after being a second-round pick in 2017, has played only 17 regular-season snaps because of a knee injury that required two surgeries. The game against the Cardinals marked his most extensive action since the Chargers’ preseason finale last year. Lamp and Feeney were on the field for all 60 offensive snaps. “I played decent,” Lamp said. “Obviously, there are some things I definitely can improve on, blocks that I missed that I wish I could go back and do again. But that’s what the preseason is for.” Immediately afterward, Lynn said it was too early to fully grade the play of the line or any individual performances in particular. But he was pleased with how the Chargers ran the ball early and the 160 total yards the offense generated in its first two possessions with backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor in the game. “The first couple drives, we were rolling there,” said running back Austin Ekeler, who finished with 40 yards on five carries. “I wasn’t getting touched until I was in the secondary. So props to them. I didn’t see any real big busts.” What displeased Lynn was the steady blur of yellow flags. Arizona accepted 10 Chargers penalties totaling 85 yards. Another six penalties were declined. The Chargers were called for holding eight times while in possession of the ball, although four of those came on special teams. Both Scott and Lamp were called for holding in the second half. “That was disappointing to me because that goes back to technique work,” Lynn said. “Gotta look at our conditioning, see what kind of shape we’re in and things that we’re doing in practice. We’ve got to get better fundamentally.” As a rookie in 2018, Scott started one game at right tackle and played in nine total. Then he’s charged with facing the likes of Arizona linebacker Terrell Suggs, a seven-time Pro Bowler while with Baltimore. “It was some good reps,” Scott said of the opener. “It was good for me, made me feel good going in there and having some good drives against those guys.” After two joint practices next week with New Orleans, the Chargers face the Saints in their second preseason game. The defense in New Orleans features edge rusher Cameron Jordan, who will test Scott more. Scott said practicing daily against Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram has helped in his development. “Coming out getting those good reps against guys like Joey and Mel every day, no chance but to get better,” he said. “Makes me ready for game days like this. I feel pretty confident right now.” www.latimes.com/sports/chargers/story/2019-08-09/trent-scott-forrest-lamp-chargers-offensive-line-starters

A man doesn’t whine like a petulant child then blames it on a toothache when he gets called out for it. Shame! Shame!! Being a Freak I don't have to worry about what a man does. I have been Mr. Meanie because of it and I know you have that trademarked. Sorry.

Dentist Update: I went at 9am yesterday. The Assistant takes one look at my swollen face and says he is probably going to give you an antibiotic and reschedule you. The dentist comes in and says lets do a Panoramic x-ray, so you don't have to bite down, and leaves. I don't currently have dental insurance, and he had said it costs more. I ask the asst. who says its like twice the cost. I tell her I'll take the regular xray. So I have to bite down on this medieval thing they stick in my mouth. He comes back and says he is going to prescribe me an antibiotic. I say ok, now we are going to discuss pain management. He says he can't give me a narcotic unless I have a procedure done. He doesn't want the state to give him trouble Here is where I am not happy: "Listen. I have been in pain for 3 days. I have taken 3000 mg's of Ibuprophren in the last 24 hours, and this cannot continue. I don't do drugs, I can't go to the state and get them, I am seeing you right now because you can order them." He says let me see what I can do. Uh huh........
So I get Naproxen. Weird stuff. I took it, and it wasn't doing anything, so i took a Tylenol too. (Can't mix Advil and Naproxen the pharmacist says.) It took about an hour for the Naproxen to work. So its not fast relief. But once it does, it lasts about 10 hours. The antibiotic must be starting to work. I woke up about 3 times last night sweating. Today, I am weak, but in less pain which is all i care about.
Antibiotic every 6 hours, Naproxen twice a day. Tylenol not to exceed 6 pills every 24 hours. How the hell do you stay on schedule trying to sleep during the night ? So when I would wake up I would check the clock and take some pill.

You’re supposed to go to Canada for healthcare like our wise senators do. American healthcare is based on that fundamental principle.

If you don't hold a job that has dental ins, don't make enough to pay for ins, can't afford normal dental care, apply for assistance. Or...If you're not an illegal alien, get a passport & go to Tiajuana. Mex DDS there go to US dental schools but don't have all the Gov programs that drive US prices. Much cheaper.

First, I'm sorry to hear you still have the problem, I'll pray for you again. Have you tried Clove Oil? That helped me a lot when I had the same problem. Walgreens has it. It dulls the pain - kind of like the shots the dentist gives you.
Maybe you could convince them you are an illegal immigrant - that way the government will pay for it.
