What do San Diego Charger fans and Rodney Dangerfield have in common? We get no respect. From other teams it's acceptable. Yeah, we know your new mediocre quarterback is gonna change everything. All of your rookie picks are going to be awesome, and Mathews will fail. We will lose all of our stars, yadda yadda yawn. It gets old. If all speculation fails, brag about trophies of decades past. We roll with the punches ...

Will The San Diego Chargers Go To a 4-4 Pass Scheme?

Posted: 26th June 2010 by Jeremy Beckett in NFL
What is a 4-4 pass scheme? Well, it's not exactly proper football terminology, but in terms of making a descriptive article title, I don't know a better expression. The signing Thursday of Dedrick Epps surprised me. Not because he isn't any good. He is. Not because the Chargers seventh draft pick was a throwaway, it wasn't. But because the Chargers roster already boasts three signed and contracted tight ends—Antonio Gates, ...

Posted: 25th June 2010 by Jeremy Beckett in NFL
Against the Odds Tell him he's too small , and watch him tackle a tight end who outweighs him by 70 pounds.

Posted: 19th June 2010 by Jeremy Beckett in NFL
Darren Sproles has had to overcome adversity his whole life. If not for his small stature, then certainly for his speech impediment. It's a fair assumption that if Sproles was 6'1", 220 pounds, with a silver tongue, he would have been a first-round pick. What he did in high school and college was nothing short of spectacular. High School: He won so many awards, listing ...

It’s My Turn: The Malcom Floyd Story

Posted: 18th June 2010 by Jeremy Beckett in NFL
Malcom Floyd is the first half Samoan, half African-American wide receiver in the NFL. At 6'5", 225 pounds, he also measures in as the biggest target any quarterback has to throw at. Floyd has spent his entire career playing in the shadows of others. He was very unfortunate to have joined the Chargers in 2004 as an undrafted free agent. The Chargers were in the prime years of LaDainian Tomlinson's career. Marty ...
