Please Melvin do not become another Prima Donna! Do not need that. Act like a team player. You will be paid accordingly when it comes.  Everyone calm down. It's already been explained. There is a loophole in Supa's contract that doesn't guarantee his 2020 compensation if the season is cancelled. It wouldn't exist except for the extraordinary circumstances this year. He is looking to get that buttoned up. He isn't holding out for an extension or anything of that nature.

Dear Emperor, Please believe us that Ingram's issue is ONLY some loophole in his contract, right after bookend Bosa got ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS. Emperor reply: How about, I don't think so.

Dear Emperor, Please believe us that Ingram's issue is ONLY some loophole in his contract, right after bookend Bosa got ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS. Emperor reply: How about, I don't think so. Ingram will have earned $66 million over four years after signing his near-the-top-of-the-market deal in 2017. He reported with the non-guaranteed money and COVID hanging over his head although we didn’t know it since both sides have been silent on the issue. If a full season isn’t played in 2020, non-guaranteed $$$ goes up in smoke for the portion of the season missed. Guaranteed $$$ gets paid to the player in 2021. This is COVID-related, not Bosa envy. Ingram is trying to lock down as much of the $14 million that he can in case games are canceled / the season is suspended. They will come to an agreement shortly, and Super Mel will be ready to rock & roll so that he can earn a good contract in 2021, whether that is with the Chargers or elsewhere. |

We are going to go with you and sdc. If you guys have knowledge that its a guarantee contract issue, fine, good enough. But TB is right. There are reports of otherwise, including your beloved Daniel Pooper. (how do you worship him but turn on him now ?) I am going with you guys, but I don't trust it. I know what I see, and I know my instincts.

MI wants some more cash. He *might* settle for some guaranteed money, but he wants some more cash. I’m grabbing popcorn. The Asterisk 2020 season draws near.

Fullback competition update from Popper: Both Nabers and Holly impress The Chargers’ one-on-one period early in practice featured a lively pass-rush/pass-blocking drill between the tight ends and backs and safeties and linebackers. The coaching staff set up a yellow trash can to act as the quarterback. The defensive players lined up and, on the whistle, tried to get to the trash can. The offensive players tried to prevent them from getting there. There were some intense matchups, and I had several takeaways after watching. I will get into them all. But we will start with the fullbacks because that is shaping up into one of the more heated position battles of camp between undrafted rookies Gabe Nabers and Bobby Holly. Both of these guys can play. They are big and physical, which is primarily what coaches are looking for from that position. Nabers is a bit more versatile — he is a polished route runner and can line up at tight end — while Holly is a more prototypical fullback. Nabers was the first fullback to go, matching up with rookie safety Alohi Gilman. This was the second rep of the period and really set the tone. Nabers stood Gilman up and then de-cleated him and drove him into the turf. Gilman has already proven to be a strong player, so this was an impressive rep. Holly went right after Nabers in his matchup with linebacker Denzel Perryman, who is one of the most violent hitters on the Chargers’ roster. It was as if Perryman ran into a brick wall. Holly barely moved an inch. He is a tough man to move off his spot. That he did this to Perryman is very impressive. Nabers matched up with Gilman again later in the period and won again. This rep wasn’t as flashy, but he was able to stop Gilman in his tracks. Holly went next, against Desmond King, who is an established blitzer. Holly had no problems with King’s speed and prevented him from getting anywhere near the trash can. Holly got a third rep toward the end of the period against linebacker Emeke Egbule, who the Chargers have been cross-training as a weakside defensive end, or LEO. Egbule’s pass-rushing skills won out in this one-on-one, as he was able to bend and beat Holly to the outside. Nabers went up against Gilman for a third time in his final rep. Gilman won off the line, but Nabers recovered nicely. Based on the defensive players’ cheers, they believed Gilman won this rep. It was close, though. I give a slight edge to Holly in the showdown of fullbacks, as he was facing off with better players. But this battle is still neck and neck. Nabers’ versatility will go a long way in helping him win the spot on the 53-man. theathletic.com/2012590/2020/08/20/chargers-training-camp-practice-report-day-5-fullback-battle-heats-up/ |

And to put a ribbon on it.
Defensive end Melvin Ingram was in pads and practiced for the first time this training camp. As I reported earlier this week, Ingram was sitting out of practice because he is dissatisfied with his contract situation. He sacked Tyrod Taylor in the opening 11-on-11 period, beating left guard Dan Feeney after lining up in his patented standing position from the interior.

I am OVER being on the one yard line and giving it to little Ekeler 3 times. Over it.
