Chargers/Wildcats connection update

Chargers are pushing to turn one of their biggest weaknesses into a strength

The Chargers worked to aggressively bolster their secondary during the offseason. The new lineup is attacking training camp and vying for snaps.

Rashawn Slater is quoted extensively in this recent article about the upcoming season. An All-Pro his rookie year, Slater is one of the top o-linemen in the league.

Justin Jackson is a free agent. I think I read he was trying out with the Cards. The Chargers decided to go with younger backs though Jackson had some good games with them last year as he was constantly fending off injuries during his career as a Charger. There is a slight chance he still might end up back with them.

Joe Gaziano will be back with the Chargers this year. He saw more action last year on defense. I found this article online about Gaz, one of my favorite defensive players when he was a Wildcat.

Chargers 90-in-90: DL Joe Gaziano

Entering year three, Gaziano has a chance to carve out a role as a depth piece for a new-and-improved defensive interior.

Chargers/Rams game on CBS now. I think I saw Slater in at LT in the first series where Chargers scored a td on a nice pass and reception, Not sure if I’ve seen Gaz yet on defense. He’s listed on the roster for this game. Former Chargers qb Dan Fouts and rb Ladamian Tomlinson are working on the broadcast team- it’s fun seeing them again.

Mack is SO powerful

 

[WestCoastWildcat]

Mack was a good pick up by the Chargers. Just wish the rest of the Chargers defense could tackle in this game.

FWIW- Justin Jackson signed with the Lions in early August and appears to be on their roster along with Godwin Igwebuike who converted to rb. Nice to see Justin landed a spot with another team.

JJ had three Carries for 11 yards yesterday, Godwin had two or three Carries also for a handful of yards.

Very. He needs a new start and some better health. Too bad his new team doesn't have a better OL, but JJ will continue to do what he's always done. GO JJ!

Why Your Team Sucks 2022: Los Angeles Chargers | Defector

It’ll be another year of employing one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL and still failing to rise above CBS’ third-string announcing crew. Another year of equally hapless franchises redeeming themselves at the Chargers’ expense. And another year playing home games in front of a crowd of 50...

Chargers preview. Slater gets a sentence:
“Rashawn Slater is a fu**ing beast.”

Simple is good. Like Hemingway.
