CHARGERS VS. SEAHAWKS - What Bolt fans need to look at!!??
First off, Congratulations to the fans who made this game a sellout. I know alot of fans from other places , make faces and question your loyalty.. But in this day in age and economy.. Gas is outrageous, utilities bills, clothes, shoes.. just living in socal is pricey,. I applaud those fans that pay hard earned money for a preseason game.. '
But the facts are..Rivers had been terrible fro almost three years. Yes, he had a lousy offensive line, but he is also not a Mobile QB or a nimble one. Many times I saw his lack of patience , trying to fiorce things to happen.. He's not a throw thrower or has a quick release and not very accurate. But he is a great game manager .. His a coaches son and Knows the game.. Despite his physical limitations.. and Lets not hear about it takes time for a qb to be relaxed in a system.. Case in point The San Francisco phenom.. Kapernick.. Not only was a back up , but a young QB in a new system.. He took the niners to the big game.. Andrew Luck took a losing team to the playoffs. I'm not saying they didn't have help.. great defense and a talented players, but they willed their teams to win,,, Why? They are humble , hard working and Look at things as a team effort.. I would love to play with those guys.. Can you say the thing about Rivers? I mean when things are going well . He's great.. But when things are going bad , we have seen the tantrums with Nervous Norv and other players.. LT, etc.. We all know chemistry and have each others back is more important than talent and skill. You must heart.. something the Chargers have lacked since LT ' sproles , Vincent Jackson departures.. Yes.fans ,, Lets see if Rivers has a grasp of the new offense and lets see how these retooled offensive line does against a quality defensive pass rush..
The loss of Denario Alexander is Rivers heart ache. They had a connection late in the season.. while players like Meachem , Royal, were no shows.. Its a new year a new system and a new attitude.. Give them a chance,, We have the real McCoy who did winders with Tim Tebow.Lets face it ,, the fans of San Diego are frustrated and angry with or have been under the Nervous Norv and AJ Smith era.. But I sense a new feeling and attitude with the players and fans.. Why? We have coaches that want to prove themselves then a coach who relied on past reputation??
My take on Norv Turners Offensive coordinator Superbowl winning success..
TROY AIKMAN, MICHAEL IRVIN , EMMIT SMITH,, AND THE BIGGEST AND STRONGEST OFFENSIVE LINE EVER IN THE HISTORY OF THE NFL.. LARRY ALLEN IS AND PROBABLY BE THE STRONGEST EVER OFFENSIVE BEAST OF ALL TIME!! My take how can you not be successful with Hall of famers like that.. But that was then and this now!!
Now look at Ryan Mathews, he's lighter and faster , but he still has trouble reading defense and making quick decisions,he still has pass blocking issues and lacks Mental toughness despite his looks, he has the muscles and tats, but he refuses to play in pain or make that smart decision to take what the defense gives you..
Next I want to see the next coming of Jr Seau.. Mante Teo' is a beast , but that's practise I want to see him tackle and dominate.. along with Donald Butler.. I'm also interested to see the signing of Dwight Freeney , cashes out.. He's a super man when he's healthy and ready.. I feel he may be the hidden treasure on defense.. In addition the new corners acquired ,, we need to look at.. Because this defense was not good at crunch time..
Charger fans look at Coaching,, organization and a perhaps having a true two minute drill.. We all complained about Nervous NOrv's lack of two minute drill preparation.. I want to see how the coaches handle pressure decisions . Its a fun time and true test to see if the Chargers are going to be something this year.. It can happen.. The AFC WEST OR WORST is still searching for a identity. The Broncos are the most talented and balanced team in the AFC WORST. but losing their center is a great concern to them , whether they want to admit that or not.. The Chiefs and raiders are starting over with New Qbs... BUt they look primed to contenders in the future.. The Chargers are a WORK IN PROGRESS and the fans are excited about this season.. No more Nervous Norv, or AJ -- Mr alienated players.. Its a new feel and a new era.. Tonight.. We will see how it looks.. But don't expect a great team right off the bat.. '
But lets hope we see more pep in their step and players understanding what they need to do and Rivers , taking what the defense gives him.. If nothing is there , throw it away look for a check down.. I don't see him taking 50 sacks THIS SEASON as prolonging his career. Remember he has bad knees and has taken a whipping these past few years..
My last thought,, I hope to see Free agent QB Mark Herrmann.. sorry if i Butchered his name,, But he's a tall strong and much more athletic QB.. and may be the QB of the future.. He has a quick release and a strong accurate arm.. that the spread offense demands.. But for now Lets support this team.. and Watch how Rivers does... But recall. He's 30 now , with damaged knees, and next year his contract ends.. and THE NFL - not for long may apply to him..I know it sounds crazy to say it , but if My underdog QB pans out.. Rivers maybe cut because of his pay demands and age.. THE NFL is meant for the Strong and young and what have you done for me lately? Rivers was great when surrounded with great talent.. But with less talent and a inconsistent offensive line, he made poor decisions and mistakes that cost the team chances to win.. We thought Rivers was a Manning , Brees, Brady elite type .. But the past couple of years showed his a great game manager with physical limitations , lack of mobility , not a strong or accurate arm and a less than desirable quick -release. THE NFL is evolving.. The Dan Marino , stand in the pocket days are no longer in vogue.. and Rivers if he doesn't re-invent himself this season.. Maybe looking for another team,, Because this team is making a complete change , on offense and defense .. and the skills that worked in one system ,, maybe not the exact fit..now.. But Lets see what Rivers does, but I'm hoping we can take a nice look at the future in Mark Hermmann... He maybe the wild card player that absorbs this spread offense ..
Enjoy tonight and Lets see what the New Chargers have to offer. But the fans have spoken.. They are excited and willing to buy into this Team.. Based on overcrowded practises and the biggest showing at Fan Fest in years. Plus selling out a preseason game.. Lets see if the Chargers can begin this new era with no blacked out games.. Tonight may be the start of something great.. Oh Charger fans , we cant wait? Lets see what they got!?!?!
