Former San Diego Chargers Pro Bowl defensive end Marcellus Wiley knows a thing or two about playing through major injuries. In 2001, Wiley played an entire season with a screw in his foot as a result of a break he suffered in practice. In a situation that eerily mirror's Shawne Merriman's current predicament, Wiley went against his doctor's wishes and decided to sip another tablespoon of “Suck ...

When the Carolina Panthers come to town this weekend, they'll be bringing along a potent one-two punch at running back. DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart form a dynamic duo and will pose some interesting problems for the Chargers. While San Diego's run defense has been suspect this preseason, the Williams/Stewart combo has been stellar. Both players averaged over 7 yards a carry in the ...

According to reports, the San Diego Chargers have contacted the agent of former Cincinnati Bengals offensive tackle Willie Anderson . Anderson, a five-time Pro Bowler and 10th overall draft pick, was cut last weekend by the Bengals. At 33 years old, the veteran would provide a stabilizing presence to the Chargers' offensive line at a time when injury has ravaged the group. Center Nick ...

The San Diego Chargers have finalized their 53 man roster as they head into the 2008 NFL season. The NFL imposes a roster limit of 53 active players (including up to 8 practice squad players) so the Chargers had to make some cuts to meet the league's regulations. C Nick Hardwick was removed from the PUP (physically-unable-to-perform list) and is now part of the 53 man roster, even though he ...

Looks like AJ Smith has struck gold. Or would the better metaphor be turning water into wine ? Smith has once again taken someone overlooked by most and allowed that player to blossom in San Diego. I don’t know how to describe LJ Shelton ’s situation other than unlucky: Here is a guy who was an Arizona Cardinals first round pick back in ‘99. He held out as a rookie, started only seven games, ...

The San Diego Chargers decided to part ways with Lorenzo Neal after the 2008 season. Neal had become one-dimensional as a fullback and in Norv Turner's scheme the team needed someone who was a more dynamic runner with good hands. Neal was average at best when it came to catching the ball out of the backfield, and lacked speed and agility to be an effective offensive weapon. However, it still ...

On Monday, Norv Turner addressed the media where he fielded questions regarding his thoughts coming away from the 7-6 preseason loss to the St. Louis Rams. In a game that featured mainly the second and third team players, Turner was able to get a read on his young rookies’ ability to grasp the NFL game. While there were mistakes that were made, Coach Turner came away pretty impressed with his ...

Drayton Florence signed a deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars for six-years, $36.1 million. He was immediately took Brian Williams' job as the #2 Cornerback, starting opposite Rashean Mathis. So far in the preseason, Florence has looked to be a great pickup for the Jags. Florence joins a talented secondary with ballhawks like Reggie Nelson and Rashean Mathis lining up with him.
Shane Olivea ...

I have a ton of respect for what Scott Wright has done with his website NFLDraftCountdown. Not only has the guy turned a sports writing hobby into a dream job, he has also gained lots of respect among league circles and is regarded as pretty damn knowledgeable. Fans the internet over visit NFLDraftCoutdown to get in-depth football player analysis everyday. So with all that in mind, it comes as ...

Jacob Hester will be a fine replacement for Michael Turner. Similar style, but Turner was/is better. Hester runs hard and lays the wood, but he lowers his head/shoulders which can be a double edged sword – he hits the defender but fails to bounce off and continue his run at times. Turner was great at pinballing, hopefully Hester can develop that part of his game a little more. Overall, very ...

We ran down Kris Dielman after practice and asked him a few questions. Kris is a heck of a football player, and he'll be the first to admit he's a bit rough around the edges but thats what we fans love about him.
A big 'thank you' goes out to Kris, Jamaal, Allison, Bill, and the San Diego Chargers for letting us come through... hopefully this we can do stuff like this more regularly.

We had a chance to chat with starting safety Eric Weddle after practice on Thursday. Eric has been having a heck of a camp so far, and it looks like he is more than ready to step up and have a big year for us.
I don't claim to be a great on-camera interviewer so don't hold my lack of professionalism against me. But I'll work on it and believe me, I'll get my act together. And Eric, I could ...
