Ummm.... Tony Jefferson just had the greatest performance by a Charger in a pre season game. But you may be overreacting. He's 32 and was out of football last season. But I would love to see this guy on the field. Up to Minter. IMO a situational call vs the current opponent, health, how practice went. They're both earned a role on the 53. Maybe a rotation. Minter's boss Harbaugh has already indicated Alohi is the starter. All I need is a couple of mistakes and Jefferson will replace him. I have not been happy at free safety for years. Alohi did take a step forward last year. Is it enough ? It's enough when you suck ass as a group there. But Jefferson has come out of retirement and proved himself. It is a nice battle, and we need the depth there.

Alohi should remain the starter, we're fortunate enough to have great depth for a push into the playoffs.

I prefer to go with three RBs in order to keep both Fehoko and Rice. Fehoko has earned the spot, but letting Rice go to the practice squad is an almost guarantee that he will not be a future Charger. Rice has a lot of potential and I do not want to see him go. Rice has 12 targets and 1 reception in the preseason. I think he has potential, but it prob lies in something besides football. We'll see... That stat looks bad until you realize who the QB was.

Perhaps this is true, but I suspect the decision will viewed in a larger context, taking into account what Rice's play was like when not being targeted. A seventh round pick, no eye opening statistics through preseason, likely not a 53 roster player.

I haven't watched 50% of the snaps. Preseason today with only scrubs out there is just is a waste of time for the viewers. Certainly, important for the coaches and evaluators. That being said, I saw three plays where Rice should have made the catch and did not. I'm not buying into the hype or the excuses.

I think Rice will become a good NFL receiver. He needs more than one pre-season to get there. I have bought into the hype. More importantly, Rice has bought into his own hype and other teams will take a flyer on him. I can easily see him signing with a different practice squad or being poached from the Chargers practice squad. I prefer to keep both Fehoko and Rice by keeping seven WR and three RBs or place Chark on a designated IR. I am not making excuses but can see how my reply could be interpreted that way. My point was that the poor QB play in preseason games makes that stat mostly meaningless.

We have less than 28 hours to find out !!!!! Me scared.

The fourth RB is much more talented than the seventh WR.....keep talent. The statistic on Rice is part of the evaluation, but there is far more. Did he run the called route, was there separation, was he open.....was the throw so bad he had no chance at a reception, did he just drop the ball....etc etc etc...... If his father was not who he is, Rice would likely have gone undrafted.

Gus and Dobbins are good to great but have an inj history. Vidal and Patterson look like quality starters. Keep them. We want the run game to work at a high tempo whenever Roman asks for it.

The injury history alone is why you keep 4 RB's...... Rice has not created any other use but WR.....big mistake for a seventh round pick. Easy cut.....

My point was that the poor QB play in preseason games makes that stat mostly meaningless. Like I said before my sample size with him is extremely small. Perhaps, some of the hype he has received being Jerry’s son has put me off a little. I’ve seen plenty of people on the interwebs projecting him ahead of my boy Ladd on the depth chart. That doesn’t help either. At the end of the day, I hope he succeeds since that will only make us better.

Very true but... I'd love to keep Rice as a developmental player, but over Fehoko? I'd be fine with him staying or going, this one is on Harbaugh.
