However, the joint practices have been a good evaluation tool for Lynn and the rest of his coaching staff, providing more opportunities to assess players in a game-like atmosphere against someone other than their own team.

The Chargers also will see some familiar faces when the Saints arrive on Thursday. Drew Brees, a former second-round pick of the Chargers in 2001 who played five seasons for the team, remains the unquestioned leader of the Saints' offense.

Re: Chargers will see familiar faces in joint practices with Saints
I'm thinking that the Chargers will have a feel for our defense.

Re: Chargers will see familiar faces in joint practices with Saints
From what I have read on social media, chargers are having their way with us; offensively and defensively. Brees running for his life/Bosa blowing up the line AND Rivers 14/14 moving at will.
