FOOTBALL FRIDAY AUG 10, 2013- BOLTS VS HAWKS - POST GAME THOUGHTS..
  First of all I thought the changing the color of the name tags on the back of the charger jerseys is ugly.. Different color names and numbers , makes the jersey ugly.. Why mess wit perfection Charger brass> Well anyways now to the first teamers.. vs, first teamers hawks.. The Charger defense was very impressive and the offense was moving well, particularly on the ground.. I see the Chargers being a ground and pound team , than the aerial circus we enjoyed with Nervous NOrv.. I hate to say it , but those days are gone,, Don't expect this team.. as constructed,, to be a aerial circus and cumin back from 24 point deficits.. Don't expect it.. and Don't dream about it..This is going to be a ground and pound with passing as a diversion , than the main stay.. The defense will keep the low score and the Bolts are going to score enough to win.. But the special teams needs work.. Because letting the opponent's start at 40 or 50 yd lines vs.. starting on your 20 or 30 yd line.. It makes for a long season and a defense that's going to worn down like last Thursday.. I liked how Rivers moved the ball and make quick decisions.. Its a simpler offense and it seems its suiting him very well.. But he looks a season away from blowing out a knee or what.. The line better protect him.. because if clipboard Jesus is going to play,,, forget it.. The chargers wont even break even.. As good as sorenson is,, he's still a project and needs seasoning.. 
 Ryan Mathews,, he looks strong and fast , and is making better decisions,, and if he's healthy will be used. But based on the past few seasons.. I don't expect that , that's where Ronnie Brown and Danny Woodhead come into play.. The offensive line did well , but it seems it more suited for run blocking,, so that may be the formula for success. If anything this team is young and will make rookie mistakes, and the growing pains may take a couple seasons. This team is young team in transition.. I know the fans want super success, But I see a 8-8, maybe a 9-7 team. The Chargers have a tough schedule and the Raiders and Chiefs are going to be better. The years of domination is over.. but its the first game , in preseason.. and we cant predict what will happen. But its clear the chargers have a solid first team.. but after that.. its not so good.. Its clear the seahawks 2nd and 3rd teams are much better than the chargers.. 
 One thing that concerns me is special teams play and mental mistakes, off sides, illegal procedures and plain old aggressive penalties.. But then again this is a young team with no experience with a rookie coach and  young GM.. The fans wanted change and now it has happened.. But like i said,, the aerial circus we enjoyed with Norv Turner is gone,. this will be a ground and pound with some short passes . But one thing is for sure,, Its great to see energy and attitude with this team.. But it has a learning curve ,, the players and fans need to address.. Both of us need to realize that the chargers we used to love ,, is No longer there.. This is a new team with a new attitude and offensive strategy.. I see them grouding and pounding and using short passes and long runs after the catch.. gates looks good , as well a floyd.. But the others need to step.. during game time.. Royal was practise gem,.. but did nothing during the game.. Meachem same thing,, Well .. its just a summer football game. Its how this team play in Sept and late Oct,, that counts.. The Bolts have a tough schedule and a new offense to master .. Thsi team cant afford to get behind , ot what.. to win games.. They will have to play error free football  with time consuming offense.. If not this team will have a tough time to have a winning season..  NOt because they don't have the talent, but how the head coach wants to construct this team.. Ball control,, time management and error free football.. It might not be exciting, but it may produce winning playoff football, something the bolts haven't seen on a few years.. But I have a feeling alot of the fans,, are not going to like that. But winning games and making the playoffs will alleviate that desire for aerial circus football.. The fans wanted this,, and we have to adjust to the new scheme chargers..
