Nieman looked good against the run, but lost in coverage. Based on preseason play, he is PS material, doubt he will get the start. He’s a stud on special teams (one of the few on the Chargers roster). That’s why he is active every Sunday. I’m not sure the STs emphasis was consistently applied across the board, bradwell and christiansen were amongst the best special teamers of the preseason and both got cut over drafted players that they outplayed in preseason. bradwell outplayed kelley on way less opportunities and hands down on special teams. christiansen was clearly the better than both nieman and ogbongbemiga and was just as impressive on special teams.

Niemann was a special teams ace at Iowa, and that was the reason he was drafted. He has exceptional speed and is a good run defender, but he needs to develop as a pass defender which is why they are not really using him in the linebacker role as a rookie. __________ The Chargers drafted linebacker Nick Niemann in the fifth-round with the intentions of him aiding a special teams unit that finished last in the league last season. While the majority of his money will be made in that department in his first season, Niemann profiles as a player that can make an impact on the defensive side of the ball. chargerswire.usatoday.com/2021/06/12/chargers-linebacker-nick-niemann-day-3-gem/

Nick Niemann--Iowa Defense Captain, and his dad is a football coach. Play him on run downs. And his older brother Ben won a ring with and is currently on the Chefs. Ben is an undrafted free agent special teamer and spot starter at LB.

It’s probably a coincidence, but Sarrell was with the Ravens since signing as an undrafted free agent from Stanford and had been on their practice squad in September.

We need a run D, a run O, and a kicking game.

Although he is just as horrible if not worse than Vizio... Jags have released Lambo.

Andre Roberts was just released by the Texans, and while he is strictly a Return Specialist, I think we could use someone specializing in kick and punt returns!
