Not bad work from the defense even if it is preseason.

I'll certainly take it. I'd rather play well, even against backups and vanilla plays, than to stink against it.

I can't take too much from this, but I see what appears to be a more active and quicker defense. The offense is void of the vast majority of it's best players, so I have no comment on them, other than we don't have sufficient depth on the offensive line, right now.

Rivers looking at 8 sacks and wondering how he'll survive 16 games.

What was so impressive to me was the way the defense swarmed, attacked the ball, gang-tackling...

Seems like we've crossed the desert for forty years and not seen it till tonight...

It's PreSeason, It's early, but it was very, very encouraging...

Not going to get too high as I want to see us continue to build off this...

Take QB Kellen's rushing yardage away and we allowed the Chargers RB's only 40 yards on 26 carries. Holy crap!

Our LBs looked good. Teo, Klein and Anzalone. D-line looked improved. Much more pressure. I like what I see from Okafor btw.

Yes sir.

I'd add Kikaha to the mix. Did you notice how often he gets held coming off the edge? If he remains healthy, he's trouble for opposing offenses.

I know it's pre season, teams are vanilla yada, yada but those linebackers are for real. You can see they've been coached up. That strip fumble last night by Sterling Moore was something Aaron Glenn did during his playing days.

This defense is going to surprise many for 2017.

Bring it.
