Disc, we are “o-line” people, don’t argue just accept the shame  honestly it’s an improvement over being called crack addicts, I think it’s inexcusable to resort to name calling of fellow charger fans when they don’t agree with all your opinions. It certainly says more about you guys out there encouraging that immature bull sheeet and participating in it. The bolt should bring people together and those of you that can’t handle differing opinions grow the #$&$ up, seriously we’re all charger fans here. I think you are taking that comment a little too personally, we are all Charger fans and love football. Lets not make this a forum where we have to tip-toe around innocent razzing. I am a real life drug addict, been sober for 23 years now and I almost died from overdoses on 2 ocassions. Pick your razzing comments more wisely, “o-line people” is okay, but making references to people with learning disabilities or drug addictions is not razzing, it really says more about the people throwing those things out there carelessly without understanding or compassion. honestly, it all comes down to accepting different opinions without regressing to elementary school/middle school behaviors. When hurtful things start getting thrown around without regard then this community suffers. It just seems foolish to turn on fellow charger fans when EVERYONE here wants the same thing, we all want the chargers to win a f#$&ing superbowl already

Yes, I find the petty comments less than acceptable, but it is such on a site as this. Clearly as it gets, the Bolts understood their needs, and all one need look at is the focus with FA/Draft......OL was a very big priority. Yes, lots of chapped hides over not getting a slot WR at #13, I’m just happy those guys were gone by then otherwise the cacophony of bovine feces and gas might be unbearable. So the team did what the “o-line crack addict people” wanted so maybe TT and staley are in the club too There are many draft approaches, especially in how a club chooses to use their first round pick. With the players that had been chosen in the first 12 picks, my guess is Slater was the Bolts' highest rated player anyway, and just so happened to be at their highest need also. TT is looking at both now and later, which is why you saw that WR pick (he falls into the later group). I get the approach, but don't share in it, and would not have gone that way. Drafting in NHL is very much different than NFL, so I enjoy trying to learn these new approaches. TT seems to get much positive reporting on his drafting, so we need to just see how this all works away.

I personally don't take offense to words on a screen from people I've never met, I guess that's what 24 years in the military will do. You're a great member of a tiny message board, I'll try to watch my comments even though I wasn't the one that made those particular comments. No guarantees though... I refuse to tip-toe on a football forum, if I break any rules then that's for the mods to decide.

RB is still a big hole. Ekeler is not a feature back for an entire season and the other guys are just other guys. WR is about planning for 2022 and beyond. TT said the draft isn’t just about the 2021 season. You have to have guys developing at multiple positions so you’re squad is solid year in and year out. LB and edge are needs as well. They worked on one side of the line. We lost more games due to defense and st then we did because of offense. Staley must think he can work some magic on the defensive side of the ball with the guys we have now. Reportedly Staley is high on both Adderly and Gilman which would explain why safety wasn't targeted before the 7th round. Staley will employ an entirely different scheme than Bradley where defenses will be disguised with (hopefully) unexpected methods of attack. I still could potentially see a veteran safety being signed in post-draft free agency where salaries are being suppressed. "Staley: Listen, we're gonna be a scrimmage team" Slater: yes sir, you got it" |

I still could potentially see a veteran safety being signed in post-draft free agency where salaries are being suppressed. I agree, watkins and addae are familiar to the organization and staley could easily research those guys if he wants to, neither has signed with anyone yet. The former charger cut by the panthers is another possibility at safety, sorry can’t remember the name ATM. Melvin Ingram is still out there and who knows, he might be wanting to stick around like we’ve seen so many veterans do across the NFL taking less money to stay in familiar situations. The former steeler CB nelson is still on the street in case they want to add experience at that position. the chargers are one of the big reasons KC threw so much money out there this offseason. Yes, getting trounced in the SB was a factor but the chargers are like that T-rex in the rear view mirror on jurrasic park “object closer than may appear” kind of thing.

Addiction is a life long struggle, there is no room for complacency. The day I convince myself that I’ve overcome everything is the day I set myself up for a full blown relapse. As for the words being on a screen being less significant, we’ll just have to respectfully disagree on that. I’ve posted on many forums over the uears and am consistent on all of them in this regard “I’m not going to type a single thing I wouldn’t otherwise say to anyone’s face” thanks for the kind words but it’s not about tip toeing, it’s simply about extending respect to people that share a common passion and love for the chargers irregardless of whether you agree with them or not on players, drafts, or coaches etc...

We do all want the same thing. Hoping the chargers will finally get to the mountain too!! I’m an alcoholic and very recently relapsed. I was clean for 2 years in part because I worked on a forward operating base in Afghanistan and there was no booze. It’s one of the reasons I took the job, I needed to get away from it. I don’t think anyone here is trying to be disrespectful to people with substance abuse issues, it’s just a common turn of phrase comparing things to drugs. It certainly is appropriate when talking about addiction. Anyway, just thought I’d share since the subject came up. Moving on. |

From NFL.com Nice. The physical attributes are great to see, but the truth is you only need a baseline athleticism to be successful. If he doesn’t work out it’s not going to be because he isn’t big enough or move well enough. |
