Is it possible that this staff will keep pikins around? I hate the idea of wishing someone losses their job but in this case I don’t give a crap because I want herbert healthy and playing. Pipkins is a liability, he’s just not strong enough to play in the NFL. It’s time to cut the umbelical… As I mentioned in earlier posts, the starting OL looks pretty good, but the depth is less than. Clearly ROT is still a concern, but they are a much improved starting 5. That said, it will be interesting to see just who the Chargers decide is their best option for reserve OT. Pipkins was a gamble on raw talent when he was drafted, and the ability of the club to develop that talent. There's a difference between raw talent, and raw sewage. The club has no responsibility in "development" of small school sammy's that never should have been drafted to begin with. Sioux Falls isn't a reach, its an impossibility.

Our QB thought quite differently when he was eating turf in the endzone for a safety. Speaking of thinking differently, is Pipkins here because they have no one else ? Would that be different ?

He might have the physical tools but there doesn’t appear to be much street dog in the guy. Take Slater for example, off the field he looks like a teddy bear. On the field he’s a street fighter right from Gangs of New York.

When your LT gets smoked like that for a safety, I want to see his spleen lying on the grass. At least then I knew he gave it his all. Enough with the friggun’ matador blocking on the edge.

Should the club draft raw talent with a belief in said club's abilities to develop the player. 2) At what point should the club accept the drafted player will never reach a point that is required to play. My thought on the first point is they should absolutely do so. The second point is where many on here have reached their decision to walk from the player, in this case Pipkins. I will leave that decision up to the staff, as clearly it is not just the singular evaluation of 'has this player reached his peak, and it is not good enough'......it is also about the evaluations of other players fighting for that roster spot. I said earlier, this is going to be an interesting decision......

Sioux Falls isn't a reach, its an impossibility. The people that get paid for their opinions on these matters think quite differently. Everyone misses in the draft EVERYONE, we’re past that point, the question now is do we compound the miss or try and rectify the situation? I’m sick of hearing how him knowing the system is better than someone off the street. He was drafted for being aggressive but when you’re 6’6” 300 plus pounds being aggressive in division iii is probably to be expected. No one can accuse him of being aggressive in the NFL, the guy plays soft. He might have the size and the agility but he lacks the raw power and the proper mental toughness to play in the NFL. You don’t need to be a GM or coach to see that. the lack of quality depth on this football team falls squarely on telesco’s shoulders. If there is anything I’ve learned from watching our two preseason games is how much deeper the rams and the 49ers are than the chargers on the offensive line, it’s impossible not to see it. been looking out for tevi, freeney, and lamp on their new teams Ive managed to see tevi and freeney play, sam looks awful and freeney at guard appears to be a solid back up. I took a lot of crap here for wanting another Olineman picked in the top four picks, we had some decent ones to choose from, the steelers found starters in the 4rth round, the chiefs found a starter in the 6th round

At this point they need to find a swing tackle option before the season starts, both norton and pipkins should be replaced, quessenbery is a solid backup, jaimes is servicable, st louis looks like sampson but plays like delilah, I would rather they kept hunter ( he plays with passion) even tho tyree is more physically gifted. Gilliam is a good practice squad developmental guy as is harper. Harper showed me more last night on limited snaps than pipkins ever has

I wasn't with this take last week. Pipkins has single handedly changed my mind. 4000 guys get cut the last week. Surely one is in there.

You don’t need to go looking all over the place, the two teams we’ve played so far have 3rd string guys that are better than our 2nd stringers and they’re not going to make the rams and fortyniners 53 man rosters anchrum and coleman, The browns have guys, there are a ton of players out there worthy of our 53 man roster that’ll likely get cut in the next two weeks. the chargers will have moves that they can make to improve the O-line depth, the question is will they make them…

Should the club draft raw talent with a belief in said club's abilities to develop the player. Not from Sioux Falls. When there are Big School Billy's available. Telesco has learned from your reaching fail. 2) At what point should the club accept the drafted player will never reach a point that is required to play. The point that was Pipkin's first day here. I told you then it was a bad pick. As you recall clearly.
My thought on the first point is they should absolutely do so. The second point is where many on here have reached their decision to walk from the player, in this case Pipkins. I will leave that decision up to the staff, as clearly it is not just the singular evaluation of 'has this player reached his peak, and it is not good enough'......it is also about the evaluations of other players fighting for that roster spot.

Yesterday's Cuts:
LS Ryan Langan
WR Austin Proehl
TE Matt Seybert
OT Kyle Spalding
LB Damon Lloyd and DL Chris Okoye were waived with injury designations, which means they will revert to Reserve/Injured if they go unclaimed on waivers.
