It's only preseason, it doesn't mean anything. Winning a meaningless game feels good. Evaluating depth is a dirty job.

Still rooting for Bandy and Hall to make the roster. Hall hit the back of his head in the game and had to come out. I hope that didn't hurt his chances. Such a solid football player. Would love him to anchor the bottom of the CB depth.

He knows what he has in his starting group on both O and D, it is the depth that he needed to learn about. Well, they played all of the preseason games, so hopefully the decisions on who makes the club are the correct decisions. The bullets are real now......

Would love him to anchor the bottom of the CB depth. All 5 of the Charger beat writers made their predictions on the final 53 and not one of them included Bandy

Thank you Freak for teaching us that over the years, even when we resisted. (Camp Battles, and Camp Competition, so silly and goofy. "But but but Coach said every spot is up for grabs !!!" Give me a freakin break already.)

Starting ROT was a 'camp battle' that saw preseason action I believe. I don't know of any other starting openings that were camp battles.....maybe WR3 ? How worried are you about the talent, or lack of, in the reserve players?

How worried are you about the talent, or lack of, in the reserve players? i pray we got a step up in back ups. When guys like Hall and Bandy may get cut, that's a good sign. Some of these guys got an extra year in Staley system. That should be an improvement. Realistically, I think we got better back ups at certain spots, and probably stayed the same in others.

Using the preseason strictly for evaluating the reserve players, regardless of outcome in those games, makes for what we saw..... I think the roster improves each season.....but there are still nagging spots that TT just seems to miss on.....RB2 comes to mind right off. Losing Ekeler results in how much of a downgrade? It takes the whole club........depth will play a factor.

The Rams beat writers predict that they will have 8 WRs on the roster. Only 2 TE’s
