It made all the sense in the world to sign Schofield, especially since it's after Week 1 where he's essentially on a game-to-game contract where his veteran yearly salary isn't guaranteed. So his addition is probably just temporary depth? Or do you think he plays a larger role as starting RT once he learns the playbook? Right now I’m thinking the only advantage norton has over schofield is he knows the offense better and schofield is not a swing tackle while norton can provide reps at both sides. I’m probably thinking too much about this signing considering how down I am on bulaga, but part of me hopes that schofield stays on despite the salary flexibility his status affords the chargers, IDK, but it’s nice and reassuring to think there is a guy that you can count on week in week out even tho he’s not at bulaga’s overall skill level. No, I don't believe that it's temporary. I was just adding in the fact that the NFL has a second hunt for vets after the Week 1 game has concluded due to their contracts not being guaranteed for the season. If Schofield is still healthy and performing at a level near where he started 16 games for the 12-4 2018 Chargers squad, I'd be willing to bet that he's on the roster for the rest of the 2021 season. I've got to look why the Ravens released him at the end of August: was it a numbers game for the cap-stressed franchise or was it due to poor performance?

I find it interesting that some players get hammered while others get a complete pass. Chris Harris has missed more games as a Charger than Bryan Bulaga. If you only knew what you saw from the fans you would never think that was the case. In fact, one poster here called Telesco a sucker for signing Bulaga at all. Crazy stuff. I agree with this, never that impressed with the Harris signing, to me he was a side-grade from Hayward... With that said though, the secondary is not as bad as the Oline was, So I can see how Harris could just disappear from scrutiny. I actually came on here to say our secondary needs to step up... Prescott is no Heinecke and we all know Cooper/Lamb can go off.

What are the odds that the raven’s cut was a money issue? They gave villanueva 4.5 mil guaranteed, maybe they regeet that now considering how poorly he looked versus the raiders, maybe they should’ve kept schofield instead. Starting caliber offensive linemen are to easy to find soI’m happy the chargers didn’t burn their bridges with this guy. I was hoping they would pick up mitchell schwartz but I’be read rumors that he’s not ready to play for at least another month plus he might be eyeing a return to KC, but that’s neither here nor there, I just really think he’s still a great RT

One poster present and accounted for I’m actually with you on this one, I’m not a harris fan, not even a little bit and his salary is ridiculous too, just like bulaga. But he doesn’t protect the franchise justin herbert. I chose not to talk about harris (in addition to the linemen) because I was already bitching too much about bulaga as it is and that’s the battle I picked personally I thought it was better for the chargers to roll with the young guys and now brannon is somewhere else, at least hall didn’t get snatched. Staley rolled with young guys at the rams and did just fine so I honestly was surprised when I heard early on the chargers would carry that ridiculous contract another year.

To me the harris signing was like sleeping with the enemy, dude is a donkey for life and I would’ve rather have paid heyward or cut them both. Am not a fan of harris but he must provide something important that the young guys can’t? IDK, others that know more about football than I can weigh in but I haven’t seen it on the field.

I've got to look why the Ravens released him at the end of August: was it a numbers game for the cap-stressed franchise or was it due to poor performance? good news! It wasn’t a performance issue, I found this on the ravens fan page. They say he pushed for a spot so it sounds like a money thing, lucky for us I also learned that he played RT for the chargers before, in 2017 he started 15 games at RT. Michael Schofield, OL – SOURCE The Ravens signed Michael Schofield in June looking for additional offensive line depth. With 69 career starts under his belt, Schofield seemed like a player who could push for a roster spot.
His guard/tackle versatility also gave him additional value, but clearly not enough to earn him a roster spot.
With Schofield out of the picture, expect either Trystan Colon-Castillo or Ben Bredeson to make the roster as the team’s ninth offensive lineman.

With justin jones potentially out of sunday’s game, any chance see one of the young guys activated? Fehoko, merrill, or my paisan gaziano?

Nothing in the quote you used gives any credence to it being a money issue, and the "push for a spot" you used forgot the important word 'could'....... I surmise that in the end, his talent level was not enough to earn a roster spot, as such he was released. TT is dumpster diving......ROT gets fixed next draft......hopefully.

I don’t view the 2 similarly. Harris had a freak broken bone. Bulaga has never been a healthy contributor. Does Bulaga get game credit for the time he lasted 1 play and fell in a heap? He’s never been right physically. He had all off season to deal with whatever issues ailed him and he didn’t get right.

I think that the media overhypes the Cowboys to an absurd level. Their offense is potent but their defense is dreadful until proven otherwise. Dak’s a good player. Zeke is a worn down running back. Both teams have a couple of key injuries. I’ll take our young gun HC over their played out retread. Play this games ten times in LA and the Chargers win seven. Ball watching Cowboy half-fans invading SoFi doesn’t scare me in the least. Easy prediction. The winner in turnovers wins the game. Plus, Dak will get hit a lot, Justin won’t.

Getting hyped, would love nothing more than to see the cowboy fans leaving Sofi midway thru 4rth quarter but something tells me the game might be closer than that.

Sounds like Justin Jones is going to miss Sunday’s game with the calf injury. If so, Covington will start in his place.

It would be nice to have broughton right now over banks or perhaps over kelly. This is why I thought they’d carry 6 linemen. perhaps this week we’ll get to see that new practice squad rule where they can activate two players from practice squad without exposing them to waivers. I’m thinking one of fehoko, gaziano, or merrill will be activated and probably facyson too considering both harris and adderly might be out. Perhaps they’ll go with Ffrench for adderly to return kickoffs? whatever practice squad guys they activate will triple their salary for the week, nice!
