Chargers OTA Buzz: Slater’s Absence, Zion’s Shift, and Rookie Standouts

RB room currently has Dobbins too! If you have to trim the running back room you need to really consider contract length and injury history! Backs with the Shorter contracts and players who have had a hard time staying
On the field should go first; unless less they are substantially better than the players who would play instead.

I hope they come up with some plays to use Trey Lance’s Running ability especially if the opposing defense is getting though the line too quickly
for the offensive to get first downs.

I feel good about the QB back ups!

Win in the playoffs? Get creative with offensive game plans while playing to the players strengths! Do your best to do what the Eagles defense did to the Chiefs offense.

Until the Slater deal is wrapped, Chargers don't know what their cap situation is going to be. IMHO it is why that have not yet moved on a trade or FA to seal up the LG/C issue.

I trust Batman & Robin but what makes them think that Zion can magically work at center after that playoff game last year… we can’t have another wasted year of Herbert. I don’t count last year because they did amazing with the hand they were dealt. Jury is out.
BTFU⚡️⚡️⚡️

Oh but it's Zion & not Bradley that can't keep up with the rest of the O line. We see the tape. It's Bozeman he can't keep up with the online men. He's probably a great dude but this is the most physically gifted outside of center this team has had in a long time.

They have so much to go through with this O line they will drag it out with Slater not being there as long as they can & every one knows it at least Chargers fans know it. I would argue that Joe Alt or Becton should be out there. I understand why they're letting them but it's they're letting them build chemistry together. Sometimes & they don't really get a whole lot of time to try different things & zone in. Especially with players the rules have changed. I can barely keep up with all the rule changes in just the last 4 years. I get Rogers thing but if an American foot player gets hurt in another country what you sue the country? It's a stupid thing to do. Matt money you want to serf in another country ok go do your thing. We shouldn't have to pay for it. You're so happy you can go surf. I really don't care.

I missed this one I'm not an all in Charger fan. I don't really like ownership from the days they played in SD & basically moved to enemy territory. It might be diff now because the Raiders are in Vegas now. I don't think so. They can't just swipe out 50 years of history in a COUPLE of seasons let alone just building new facilities. Why is the teams online store so bad?

That whole narrative of "Spanos doesn't want to pay" doesn't stand up to any scrutiny whatsoever.

As Money pointed out, Herbert, Derwin, and Bosa all got paid in Los Angeles, as did Keenan Allen.

In San Diego, there's Seau, Gates, Rivers, Sproles (huge franchise tags), McNeill, Humphries, etc.

The players have always been paid.

The previous ownership in the 70s and early 80s is the ownership that shipped off players complaining about their contract status, including John Jefferson and Fred Dean. That was the Spanos family.

I don't know why people keep repeating obvious lies and nonsense that doesn't stand up to any scrutiny whatsoever.

Money you dying your hair? 😂

BOLT UP you two, you are absolutely the best tandem out there..GOD BLESS YOU BOTH..!!!

805 is San Diego 😭

Are they trying Zion at center not because he was inconsistent at LG or is it because center is the major weak point?

You guys are the Best!

WTF happened to Money's hair? 😂

Money I love you show my brother I always love listening to you during the season. I always get excited listening to your voice. I don’t care if the game is on TV. I can watch it laterI have NFL plus premium
And I love your voice. I love your knowledge with Daniel Jeremiah and my dream will come true this year, listening to you on Super Bowl Sunday and have my beer and my cigar ready to go bolt up baby. Let’s go you’re the best.

I love this show!!! Shout out Money & Lo, BOLT UP!!!

Lol lorenzo hell😂

Hey Money & Lo !!

How much did guys not getting open downfield play a part in the number of pressures last year??

Just from watching the games it seemed like 50% of the pressures came from guys not getting open and not so much on the o line!

Great show Spicoli & Lo ⚡️⚡️⚡️

Hello there Money and Lo. Always a Great show, thanks. I'm sure a lot if us fans are wondering WHY didn't Joe go after a Good LG in the draft, KNOWING we needed one!!?? My 2 cents are, Joe should've gotten a LG in the 3rd rd, but I'm DEFINITELY not Joe lol By only trading for Beckton and picking a project LG in the 6th doesn't make sense to a LOT of us! Bringing back and rolling out the same 4 out of 5 IOL it's DEFINITELY NOT improved our Tip of the Spear guys up front!!

Von Miller ??

Slater and Alt aren't a better duo than Eagles Lane J and Jordan M lol stop it Money you're so full of s**t sometimes

Everybody’s underestimating Najee, hes going to be carrying a load & it needs to be recognized when it happens 🫡

What does the backfield look like if Dobbins comes back

So money i understand Slater WAS an All pro that was 4 seasons ago in his rookie yr and than was hurt the whole following season and was average at best his 3rd season. Last yr yes he played well but he should not expect top of the market money ehen he hasn't played like top of the market his ENTIRE career. U always say all pro but again that was only his rookie yr dude. Top 5-7 LT money yes but not resetting the market kind of money that's ridiculous.

"WeakMenGetRearEnded." 😂

@Lo-Money, What hat size do each of you guys wear? I’m a 7 3/4 in fitted, or XL stretch fit.

Why dont we jus go get Schreff LG he still a FA and a good Vet

Perhaps playing some center will help him overall in seeing stunts etc. and reading the game faster and accelerate his feel. If it can click they can maybe bring him back at a discount too.

Has there ever been a receiver who had two bad years and then cranked it up in his third year (Q???)

It’s very simple.. Zion was a much better player at right guard as a rookie.. then Staley in his genius moved Zion to left guard and his play declined ever since

LO WHAT THE FUCK HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

The interior Oline worked great when Cory Linsley was our center.

Having Slater at LT hasn't delivered any playoff wins

Starting the Chargers fan movement to chant “OHHHHH” any time Omarion Hampton does something cool. Make it ridiculous when he scores a TD.

I think people are missing that Andre James thrived the year before last as a Center in a run gap scheme similar to Roman’s, and then struggled when they switched offensive scheme last year and had a suspect head coach.

Something tells me the OL is going to disappoint and I often wonder how difficult is it to find a guard.

I believe Slater will be taken care of real soon!! CHARGERS need him!! Pay the man!!⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

Chargers traded ST star Nick Neiman to the Texans, but the Bolts got back ST star Del'Shawn Phillips who is almost a clone of Neiman per PFF. Neiman had a PFF score of 72 last season and Phillips had a 72.1. But yes, Ficken needs the rookies to make an impact on ST for sure.

Man I used to live in Tulare. Lemoore is right there, they got an air force base out there 👍

I love these two guys.

Money looking like he just got back from riding waves. 😃🤘⚡️
