Specials teams was ugly but there were many pluses tonight, the defense looked nice and it will be a fun unit to watch in the season. The Oline looked sharp even when the 2nd team came on, after quessenberry went out the gave up and ugly sack of easton stick that had miscommunication written all over it, but with a 3rd string center it’s not aurprising. I liked the way roundtree and bradwell ran, I was not impressed with either justin jackson or joshua kelly, they juke too much and get no where, roundtree and bradwell are one cut runners that grind out yards

Justin Jackson has a “groin issue”. 🤦♂️
It better not be an issue for long or he’ll be an ex-Charger in a few weeks time.

The difference in the game between the two guys at the bottom of the depth chart compared to jackson and kelly was really concerning. Having great practices is great but do it in the game and stay on the field, jj can’t seem to avoid getting nicked

MW better watch Josh Palmer taking WR2. If MW wants to get injured as usual, bye bye. MW, you can piss around if you want. Palmers for real.
I thought our back up defense line was excellent. I was shocked and pleased. I know most of the board thinks secondary is our strength, Hall looked good. Staley thinks it’s LB. I’ll predict D Line.
Roundtree RB looked good. Barnwell had good effort. Good depth battle. Kelley picked up two third and ones. Tribute to him and the offense line. Sounds automatic, but last year it wasn’t.
Just my analysis, which is typically beyond Pro level.

Regarding our O-line yesterday…
Slater I thought looked outstanding
I thought pipkins looked better than I’ve ever seen him look, he has improved from last season and although I still don’t buy him as a quality starter at any point, I now believe he can become a respectable swing tackle
Jaimes I thought got beat badly once maybe twice but overall I thought he was good in pass protection and run blocking, I think he has starting potential as a guard. He needs to get stronger and continue learning IOL play
Norton had a subpar game, false start, blown assignments, etc… I still think he could push pipkins for the swing tackle spot this preseason but he’s going to need to bounce back next week
I’m no expert on center play but I thought quessenberry was very good
Of the last few guys only hunter and baker looked like the have any potential, hunter I thought had some good reps

The only thing 'typical' is your misleading, even false, postings. MW played 15 games in 2020, 15 games in 2019, 16 games in 2018, and his rookie season only 10 games. (how many games in a season.....oh yea, 16) Yep, that rookie season was not good, but to suggest MW is "usually" injured.....well that is simply not true. Palmer played, and did well. One can only hope that continues as he faces actual starter level talent. I for one am hoping he is awesome, Chargers are going to need him next year for certain.

Pipkins is getting better, but just remember when he was drafted.....talented, but raw was the evaluation. The OL depth has improved, but there really is no depth player pushing to be a starter. Really need the starting OL to stay healthy. The depth can cover a game, but five games will expose them......

One can only hope that continues as he faces actual starter level talent. I for one am hoping he is awesome, Chargers are going to need him next year for certain. Williams dealt with a few different injuries last year. He sprained his shoulder in late August but was available for Week 1. He exited Week 3 with a hamstring injury and missed the following game. Then a back injury knocked him out 2 snaps into Week 14 and limited him to just 42% of the snaps in Week 15. In his 12 healthy games, Williams averaged 6.8 targets, 3.8 catches, 60 yards and .4 TDs.His scoring averages in those games would have ranked 40th among WRs in PPR points and 36th in non-PPR. Williams finished 32nd and 39th in PPR points in 2018 and 2019; 21st and 37th in non-PPR. He missed 1 game in 2019 with a back injury and 6 games as a rookie in 2017 -- 5 with a mild disc herniation in his lower back and 1 with a bone bruise on his right knee. He fractured the C6 vertebrae at the base of his neck in the 1st game of the 2015 season at Clemson. Injuries -- specifically to his back -- have been a problem for Williams. But he’s produced as a borderline WR3 when on the field over the past 3 seasons. MW Cost over 15 million dollars for this year. Josh Palmer costs around 900k. That is all.

I don't want to leave out Kyzir White. Played a hell of game. I'm liking him this year.

Hey did you see the Tampa Bay Lightning won the Stanley Cup 4 games to 1 against Montreal ?!?!?!?!?!?!?! The officiating is said to have been the best ever. The refs might get a trophy or something.

MW is not 'usually injured' as you state. The entre rest of your post is just you saying you do not like the cost/return with MW for this season. While I tend to agree, as I would have a tough time justifying that cost, the choice was made. Clearly the Chargers know all the specifics you posted, and most likely looked at every option.....yet they still made the choice to keep MW. MW is a Charger this season, time to start cheering for his success, just like you would for all the other Chargers.
