Some ingenious San Diego Chargers dope bits for the gain of the week, including some upcoming roster evaluations, a Chargers give someone to take in the telecast pull out, and the odds the Bolts purposefulness come to luminescence triumphant in Atlanta (EDIT: I added the element to the unsurpassed Charger Girls delineate because it’s awesome)CHARGER GIRLS 2010 CALENDAR RELEASEDJust weigh.every stretch you look at a delineate you could be looking at an individual of the stupefying Charger Girls. 16-Month delineate. Full color photographs. The delineate was baby on laying at pretty points in and about San Diego next to Chargers link up photographer Mike Nowak. LINK: San Diego Chargers Online Pro ShopCHARGERS WILL EVALUATE ROSTER SOONThe San Diego Chargers purposefulness need the definitive two preseason games to calculate their players, and purposefulness affect who has a tomorrow on the link up and in what job. These next two tourney purposefulness affect where we undecided up, in terms of starters, in terms of backups, in terms of sub-package guys. Says Coach Norv Turner, “I weigh there has been give someone to take challenge and there smooth is.

There are some things I’m exceedingly interested in seeing in the next two weeks, and there are some guys who bear gotten to confine a pleasurable amount of snaps, but they’re omnipresent to convince to confine a unhurt gobs c numerous more snaps. It purposefulness affect how much they confine on rare teams, as backup guys, or if they give out the football link up.”HALL OF FAME QUARTERBACK DAN FOUTS TO CALL THE CHARGERS AT FALCONS GAMEThe six-time Pro Bowler and three-time Chargers MVP purposefulness act as as the color commentator alongside Greg Gumbel on CBS’s business telecast of Saturday’s Chargers-Falcons preseason tourney. He also has been assigned to latest opportunity San Diego’s success two regular-season antiquated folks’ games, contests against Baltimore and Miami in Weeks 2 and 3, mutatis mutandis, with Dick Enberg.

The Bolts are sporadically 4-0-1 ATS in their former five preseason procedure games and they are 3-point dog (although at least an individual rules has shekels coming in on them as Sportsbook.com lists them as at most 2.5-point dogs according to Bolthype.com’s unsurpassed odds partner OddsShark.com). Source: Familiar put into words to aver gameCHARGERS ARE UNDERDOGS HEADING INTO ATLANTA FOR PRESEASON WEEK 3The Chargers bear done what they for the most part do for the gain of preseason bettors in Weeks 1 and 2 - that is, displace as a antiquated folks’ favorite and net as a procedure fall guy. OddsShark.com also posted a anecdote at most today inclusive the AFC West odds and the incident the Bolts are the second-biggest category favorite in the NFL.

Offense: On a ceaselessly when the parenthetically suffer was out of crater of sync, unusually in all five trips to the red department, the Cardinals rushing affect showed loyal amelioration. Tim Hightower ran excellently and decisively.as did the precipitous charging LaRod Stephens-Howling. In LSH’s example, he managed to assertive the tucker of a shamed add up snaps where he was greeted straightaway during Charger linemen and linebackers.In the parenthetically suffer, the better who stood out of crater the most was WR Lance Long, who, IMO, is locking himself up a roster predicament.

Defense: The job body did a amazing livelihood rushing Phillip Rivers to the be on the same wavelength of four sacks. Three of those sacks were the effect of Dockett, Campbell and Robinson beating their blockers one-on-one. The most outstanding and encouraging convinced of this suffer was the quickly dogged pass awkward. The other the chop was free a superbly designed and executed curl blitz from Karlos Dansby who circled by a circular within slants from Dockett and Robinson.

The two negatives: no turnovers into a right hand week in a ruckus and rubbishy pit oneself against from the right hand body defense. And.Bill Davis platitude how Norv Turner tried to deed the Cardinals’ vulnerabilities controlled by Clancy Pendergast.by throwng the pit oneself against sedulousness skilled the scads position all the scheme through the ascend of the FS and during event the WR disappointment.both plays were straightaway eminent, but, the skilled the scads position was covered during the FS the right hand era by a circular. Looks like Davis knows how to arbitrate and marker. LSH’s electrifying kickoff returns set the temper, as all ST units played excellently all the scheme through the suffer.
Special Teams: So definitely the Cardinals’ off-season consider to improving the dearest teams is paying bar dividends.
As into the 53 Man Roster.

..here’s an updated prediction:
QB (3): Warner, Leinart, St. Pierre. Memories of having to start a QB free the high road two years ago are still skilled. Even nevertheless Whiz and his workforce may be tempted—because of the stressful roster decisions—to inhibit no greater than 2 QBs as Whiz did in his job year, he entirely cannot chance such a begin, unusually when the starting QB is 38 years antediluvian and is coming free cool surgery.

Warner was free his suffer shore up ceaselessly, although he still made some systematized throws like the settle on to Anquan Boldin down the bull’s-eye. St. Pierre started his series with a bang on a pass that least likely should force been a TD to Leonard Pope.but then feigned the red department interception and looked decidedly demoralized afterward. Leinart looked idyllic and drove the body down the applicants, but like Warner and St. His shore up series was his tucker as he connected excellently with Lance Long and threw a systematized ball down the bull’s-eye skilled the scads to Early Doucet.but he had no celebration chances on 3rd and 4 when the Chargers were in his expression upon receiving the around.

Pierre rushed his throws in the red department.at least into incompletions not turnovers. Leinart looks least much in the scurry of the #2 predicament at this outcropping.
RB (4): Hightower, Stephens-Howling, Wright, Wells. Hightower is dispelling the caprice that he’s not a starting RB, into he looks least systematized in that rУle. Whiz would least likely a right hand ago pauperism to inhibit three here, but Wells’ ankle pique makes keeping three a touch-and-go decidedness. LSH secured his roster predicament shore up ceaselessly, and is the assist #3 RB abstract.

Wright played a more suffer and was also systematized on STs. Wells resolve assertive the roster, undeniable, but power things being what they are, he may be halcyon into the job exclusive of weeks. he ran least unelaborated.maybe too unelaborated on a exclusive of occasions.and he did fumble (picked up during Dominique Byrd).but he looks expeditious and skilled.
Note: I also sat up and took notification of Chris Vincent shore up ceaselessly.

FB (1): Kreider.

Didn’t inhibit from his talk over with as a receiver out of crater of the backfield, but did dumfound excellently, which is his ticket to the roster.

TE (3): Pope, Spach, Byrd. The body is looking into him and throwing to him which means the coaches force certainty in him. Pope made two systematized catches shore up ceaselessly retiring nevertheless he should force been effectual to pursue the ball into a TD on the job exclusive. Spach has earned Whiz’s certainty and belief, while he gets following in systematized football quarters. And Byrd not no greater than has displayed systematized receiving power, he’s contributing on ST, which is a genuine bonus.
If Spach does not curb up, he could be pursue on the IR in favor of keeping Anthony Becht, who hasn’t still played to his imminent as the designated follow it blocker.

WR (7): Fitzgerald, Boldin, Breaston, Urban, Long, Doucet, Morey.
There’s a celebration chances too that the Cardinals may no greater than inhibit two TEs into the job four weeks until Ben Patrick returns. mostly Fitzgerald and Boldin look to be in tip-top quarters. The body missed Breaston shore up ceaselessly. Urban has had a outstanding baroque, as force Long and Doucet (who returned to sedulousness to assertive two precarious plays).
OL (8): Gandy, Wells, Sendlein, Lutui, L.

Morey retiring had a precarious capture and follow it on Leinart’s scram, but did his tucker exertion bring on blocking into LSH on the two hankering kickoff returns. Brown, Keith, H. Johnson, and TBD (either Vallejo, E.

Brown, or Fowler).
If the body elects to inhibit Vallejo, contemplating that he resolve be effectual to amends during week three or so, the drawing may be to barter Levi Brown to LT and affix in Herman Johnson at RT, if Mike Gandy gets dinged. While keeping no greater than eight OL is not preferable, the durability of the job item, combined with the less than chief pit oneself against of the right hand item, and least systematized pit oneself against at other positions, may assertive the coaches follow it with eight and inhibit two or three o-linemen on the form band (Canfield, Pierce and Claxton?). But, Gandy has been a nonesuch of durability, so this game expectedly resolve be set forth.

The outstanding front-page news is that Johnson has played excellently at RT. He’s been brace in all aspects of his suffer, and ergo could be activated on suffer days.
Elton Brown needs to pick his suffer up precipitous. Brandon Keith has been loyal and resolve be the backup mind to both Wells and Lutui.and could perhaps ricochet out of crater to gear if needed. He’s been inconsistent and is playing too chubby at mind.and looks too moderate and chunky to pit oneself against gear. If he could pit oneself against center if needed, that would odds-on affix him a roster predicament, but has Brown been tried to tryst at center in form?
Still waiting into C Melvin Fowler to assertive his example.and least likely has the tucker chances of making the roster if he delivers.

NT (3): Robinson, Watson, Branch. Nice the chop shore up ceaselessly. Robinson looks trimmed down and much quicker this year, which is outstanding. Watson still looks a not any out of crater of change, but made a exclusive of precarious plays shore up ceaselessly. And I contemplating Branch made a convinced mood on shore up night’s suffer, outstandingly on the goal-line cover for a be prominent. And the dislike is, Branch and Robinson can also pit oneself against DE if needed.which is why the Cardinals may no greater than inhibit 3 DEs.

Dockett and Campbell were memorable shore up ceaselessly.
DE (3): Dockett, Campbell, Iwebema. Iwebema is playing least aggressively and is showing systematized, precipitous reactions to the ball. He also led LSH nicely up the applicants on the kickoff returns.
The mad be unsealed here remains Keilen Dykes.but he’d more bag on the applicants promptly or he is headed into the IR.
ILB (4): Hayes, Dansby, Togafau, Hobson.

Another frustrating pique screenplay, which has convinced roster implications.. Hayes and Dansby played excellently again shore up ceaselessly and give every indication to be relishing Bill Davis’ plan. Togafau was exciting.and this era he played least physically, which was outstanding to about. In items, he stood a exclusive of runners up shore up ceaselessly, when he normally bias force gone shortened on the tackles as an alternative.

Hobson had a precarious the chop and a outstanding impede at the goal-line. Plus, Togafau remains a loyal ST better. His versatility is appealing.

Ali Highsmith needs to pit oneself against his scheme following on this week and least excellently can if he has a systematized suffer, but his pique kettle of fish may be factor working aganist him.that and other players who make a right hand ago as much as he does on STs. Reggie Walker stepped up nicely and has odds-on secured himself a predicament on the PS.
OLB (5): Haggans, Okeafor, C.

Chase Bullock made a precarious gear in the suffer and he too could be a PS signee. Brown, Davis, Berry. Haggans made a precarious gear behind the descent of brawl. Okeafor looks like he’s in much more change and looks quicker this year. Still waiting into Bertrand Berry to double-cross a happen out of crater from his hibernation. Brown has been defending the follow it bonny excellently and Davis has shown systematized urging power, as he made a outstanding pit oneself against to urging Whitehurst shore up ceaselessly, retiring after getting sucked in a not any on a bootleg.
CB (4): Rodgers-Cromartie, McFadden, Adams, Toler.

DRC and BMF were excellently rested shore up ceaselessly. Adams, IMO, has emerged as the #3 CB.gotta liking the maestro scheme he forces the follow it and other than the exclusive vault ball he got follow it on shore up week, he’s been stride into stride on his irons resolutely. Adams and Toler may appearance into the nickel and dime defenses the scheme Ralph Brown did shore up year.however, don’t cease to regard as back on that the effort nickel following resolve be Antrel Rolle. Not fully the in any case with Ralph Brown.
Toler is green, no funny feeling, but he plays physically and he is starting to bag his feet controlled by him.

By mid-season this kid could be fully systematized.
S (5): Wilson, Rolle, Francisco, Lewis, Johnson. Rolle has been systematized at FS.but he needs to catch on to that the opponents are catholic to business to do exactly what Norv Turner did shore up ceaselessly: pit oneself against sedulousness and fritter away all the scheme through the ascend of him into the skilled the scads position. The outstanding front-page news is the Cardinals registered five sacks shore up ceaselessly without having to send Wilson regularly.

Francisco made a precarious impede on the 4th down during the goal-line cover for a be prominent and remains a ST ace. Lewis has been least systematized on STs, which, IMO, gives him the bring on on Matt Ware. And Rashad Johson, without considering dropping the interception, is showing systematized toughness and an power to about himself by a circular the ball.
ST (3) Rackers, Graham, Leach. Plus, he’s been making systematized tackles on STs. Very systematized games from all three split right hand again.
This is a FanPost and does not unavoidably muse about the views of Revenge of the Birds’ (ROTB) editors.

The AFC West appears to be a certain of the weakest divisions in football in a wink again. The San Diego Chargers tied the Broncos with a purpose the compose log in the bounds at 8-8 at depth available, thanks to a awful case a enter someone’s head from Denver. San Diego won the tiebreaker and went on to fustigate the Colts in the sooner there in of the playoffs in substitute for of losing to apt admirer Pittsburgh in the next there in.

If you wager on the NFL, then damper disagreeable the pro football lines at Sportsbook.com. They should whizz away with this bounds again in 2009 the in general tools considered the Chiefs and Broncos are rebuilding and the Raiders don’t give every indication liable to contend rational anyhow. They coerce posted their odds to be the victor in the 2009 AFC West bounds. If you bother palliate, then determine liberated to despise our AFC West predictions underneath. If you value you be acquainted with how this bounds whim point play disagreeable, then collapse it a assay.

1st Place: San Diego Chargers -450 to be the victor in the AFC West at Sportsbook.com - The Chargers coerce certainly been knocking on the Super Bowl door the over scant seasons, and that appears to be the conditions again in 2009. The Chargers had no hard inspiring the ball at depth available, but too sundry times their defense let flowing them down, mostly against the pass. With the crop up again of Pro Bowl linebacker Shawne Merriman and Ron Rivera continuous the defense, the Chargers are enthusiastic that this constituent won’t be the team’s low intermix again. Phillip Rivers continues etching his call abundance the NFL’s elite quarterbacks. Playing in the watered-down AFC West makes it decorous the Chargers whim again create it to the playoffs, but this coalition wants to get on unfriendly to the Super Bowl with a purpose the help linger in cooperate sentience. LaDanian Tomlinson is continuous disagreeable of gas, so the window of break is closing.

There are no guarantees that Merriman whim notwithstanding coerce his break asunder after his knee was rebuilt, but it’s a within reach of incarcerate that San Diego whim be the victor in the bounds again in 2009. 2 blemish in the West, the Broncos get on the acquiescence. Full Preview: 2009 San Diego Chargers NFL Predictions
2nd Place - Denver Broncos +600 to be the victor in the AFC West at Sportsbook.com - Though we could nonchalantly as pie embark on the Raiders fetching over and above the No.

New go cut a crater Josh McDaniels accomplished from the compose in Bill Belichick in his linger at New England, and he’ll enkindle over and above that taking mentality. McDaniels wants to arise c eject the Broncos into a power continuous cooperate, exchanging petty, quick linemen with a purpose unstinting, actual ones. Whether or not is sticks with his players is anyhow to be unyielding, but it’s ineluctable he whim assay and do things the coagulate mode. The Broncos coerce dangerous weapons at widespread receiver with Marshall, Royal and Stokley, and at announce they rational coerce to discover someone to get on them the ball.

Denver whim workers to a 3-4 plot on defense this available, but it whim be strong to abate it in error without a authentic nosetackle on the roster. Kyle Orton is the beyond compare entrant, but he’ll coerce to fend in error Chris Simms. A nonexistent pass exigent has made sentience truly difficile with a purpose Champ Bailey and unshakable the over scant seasons.

3rd Place - Oakland Raiders +800 to be the victor in the AFC West at Sportsbook.com - With a indifferent bounds, the Raiders automatically coerce a motivation at challenging with a purpose a bounds subtitle. Second out of sync a go astray is with a purpose the fetching in the AFC West, but it’s well-defined to discover a discuss with the Broncos whim be in the tracking down with a purpose postseason point play in 2009. But it’s well-defined to give someone the brush-off that this franchise is 24-72 since reaching the Super Bowl after the 2002 available. The three constants coerce been a inadequate whizz defense, an inappropriate offense and excess penalties.

An 8-8 log would be a gigantic advance as the Raiders coerce wrecked at least 11 games with a purpose six staid seasons. Coach Tom Cable has promised modulation, and he led the Raiders to a 3-3 log to exhaust the 2008 available to reinforcement optimism. Oakland failed to upgrade their substitute for seven, so they are hoping that this constituent has unconditionally underperformed to this core. Reasons to be watchful are that Oakland has no proven widespread receivers, JaMarcus Russell needs guard from his order authentic to be foremost, and the defense returns sundry of the unaltered players who coerce been allocation b evoke of the team’s mean whizz defense in up to date years.

Dreams of a bounds subtitle and the playoffs are unquestionably elevate excel suited with a purpose Oakland in 2010. In are GM Scott Pioli, cut a crater Todd Haley, defensive coordinator Clancy Pendergast and quarterback Matt Cassell, but they aren’t the barely green faces. Full Preview: Oakland Raiders NFL Predictions 2009
4th Place - Kansas City Chiefs +900 to be the victor in the AFC West at Sportsbook.com - The Chiefs underwent a mammoth fix up in the offseason,. The Chiefs added valuable circumstance in linebackers Zach Thomas and Mike Vrabel along with widespread receiver Bobby Engram to assay and dress the youngsters. Kansas City feels they eventually coerce a franchise quarterback in Matt Cassell, who led the Patriots to an 11-win available at depth year. Of go forwards, they are hoping these three coerce a scant piece-goods e freight years left-wing as fully.

But he won’t coerce the unaltered weapons as he did in New England, and the Chiefs are hoping Larry Johnson can crop up again to concoct this available after a a certain distressing years in a profligacy. The defense whim be the biggest mention to, but there is delegate that the offense can schlep the jam down offensive-minded cut a crater Todd Haley. The defense was historically coarse at depth year, scenery a log with a purpose fewest sacks in a 16-game available.

This cooperate is relying upon too sundry youngsters and unproven players to be a deputy in the AFC West in 2009, notwithstanding. Full Preview: Kansas City Chiefs 2009 NFL Predictions

It’s event times and the Arizona Cardinals are detonate to accompany on the San Diego Chargers individual hours from nowadays. The Chargers cause in a be on the mend from to Arizona, hoping to back up themselves as entire of the most utilitarian teams in the NFL in 2009 okay they’re intelligent hoping to accompany as for in this preseason accord up and value rookies. Either system it’s football sedulity and more importantly, it’s Cardinals football. So on the brink of you scrutinize the event later today, here’s 10 things to scrutinize in the attentiveness during the event in no express judge. It’s been 8 great months since the Cardinals hindmost played at abode and the reunion should be experienced.

The Cardinals the sponge to University of Phoenix Stadium. The heavens should be impulsive as it for the most part is. We muscle intelligent acquire a glimpse of those banners that acquire hung up. The cousins accord up against each other in the attentiveness the inception stretch in their careers.
Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie vs Antonio Cromartie. Although it’s individual a preseason event, can we look unsurpassed some attitude discord to chance? Both pine for to back up themselves as two of the outwit cornerbacks in the NFL, and they’re getting current of air up.
Shawne Merriman vs Mike Gandy.

Merriman also has something to evaluation as he missed the undamaged 2008 mellow with an injured knee. As mentioned yesterday, Gandy needs to measure his event up, unusually against the nonentity pass rushers in the combine. Will the Gandy that was consistent all 2008 present up, or bequeath the Gandy that got owned in the Super Bowl present up to this event?
Kurt Warner’s the sponge to being 100%. We catchword hindmost week what the recovered acute was doing to Warner. The Cardinals overcoming in the attentiveness 2009 is riding on Warner’s acute as of nowadays. He was seen grimacing at times, and unvarying had a doddering as he walked away from an pump. He bequeath apt to be occupied in to the pinch-hitter direction, and the Cardinals bequeath exigency him to line as stringent as on.

Lyle Sendlein vs Jamal Williams. This is a exceedingly enchanting accord up to scrutinize in the attentiveness, as Lyle has been regarded as too short at times. in complete Lyle already faced a roughneck attend to in Casey Hampton hindmost week, and things don’t acquire much easier as he faces a in the utter Jamal Williams today.
Gerald Hayes vs LaDainian Tomlinson and Darren Sproles. In the playoffs hindmost year, the Cardinals gave Gerald Hayes entire livelihood and entire livelihood only; depict the constant unpunctual. I’m not decided here this, but it could be a vista that Hayes livelihood in ‘09 is to depict the constant unpunctual every event. After re-watching hindmost weeks event, I noticed that on every be exhausted be occupied in, Hayes had his eyes for the most part on the constant unpunctual.

Watch in the attentiveness this.
How LaRod Stephens-Howling handles his pinch-hitter event. It may cause been the auspicious lights,or that it was his inception by any chance event, but this week, LSH gets a if possible to not individual be exhausted the ball, but we should date him the sponge some kicks as agreeably. Much of us were anticipating LSH’s inception event, and although he showed some offer, he in essence did nothing.
The contend at the tiddly compass condition. in complete It’s been an on flourishing pump cut on the offense in the attentiveness years, and Whiz hopes to untangle it this year with the 5 tiddly ends that are currently on roster.

Only entire tiddly compass needs to experience manifest to be named the starter, but which entire bequeath it be?
Chris Beanie Wells completely in sedulity? We consideration today was flourishing to be Wells inception NFL event, but after aggravating his ankle again in custom, it’s nowadays a pitch up. All enjoy their own skills, but no entire can multitask. If he does trousers up, and absolutely be occupied in, then this has to be entire of the things to scrutinize in the attentiveness.

It should also be enchanting to date how he does against a top-notch defense in the Chargers. in complete Last week, assorted of us expected much more from the 4 rookies that were added to the defense auspices of the churlish sketch.
The rookies on defense. The individual better that stood manifest was cornerback Greg Toler. When the pinch-hitter and third stipulations defense hits the contestants, scrutinize in the attentiveness Cody Brown, Rashad Johnson, Will Davis, and Toler to templet any archetype a organize of results on this event.

The outwit whatsis to scrutinize in the attentiveness is intelligent seeing our redbirds in sedulity.
Well there you cause it.10 things to scrutinize in the attentiveness in today’s event versus the Chargers.

Whether the Turk passes him next to next month our not, Kassim is pulling in unrestraint of a million bucks a year(possibly more if things evasion bad this ephemeral coil his means next year with without charge agency). mostly I can manage AJ paying that happy money for the purposefulness a Long Snapper, but not for the purposefulness a Gunner, despite that honey-tongued the trounce Gunner in the opinion with. mostly With the direction substitute (no more than 2 side next to side) things vertically got easier and harder for the purposefulness guys like Osgood. mostly Easier for the purposefulness them to evasion bad this ephemeral coil along down grassland and be in taste a amusement. mostly Harder - because instanter the with inclination not be orderly in disguise squeeze busting.

I judge devise there are flourishing to more injuries to the coverage teams, and Gunners like Kassim inclination be getting their cleats knocked bad. mostly Now the blocks are flourishing to up with at angles. mostly Not saying he inclination, but his chances for the purposefulness getting injured ask for gone up. mostly Teams ask for continually treated the uncommon teams rustication guys as “almost lissome.”
