I read Payton complain about linebacker play but our interior was atrocious.
Davison didn't play well. I know Pouncey is an All Pro but he really had his way with Tyeler.

Davison and Onyamata were both drafted the same year I believe.....I believe we moved up for Onyamata but didn't we also move up for Davison? I'm much more impressed with the other DT's that we've brought in.......although we didn't get much push from the middle and that is somewhat worrisome to me.

We can toss Rankins in to the mix here as well. He did no better than the others, but I really saw the problem with Hendrickson at DE. Trey was getting blocked out by TEs. He may be ok rushing the passer, but he is awful against the run.

Trey seems to be better on the left side vs right end. It appears the coaching staff experimented on the right against the Chargers and he had a tough time. However he's played extremely well on the LEFT <--- all of camp and subsequent games.

In saying all of that, Davenport is the future at the right defensive end :p.

The Chargers interior O Line is a beast. They chewed up Rankins, Onyemata & Davison and spit them out. Hopefully they learn from this beatdown. Hard to put too much blame on LBs when there's so many running lanes in the line. We have to stay sub 4 yds/carry, preferably sub 3 yds/carry for my liking.

I didn't realize how stout they were up front. That is a strength for the Chargers however our LB play has been average at best thus far. We must do better as a group.

We used a third and fourth round picks to move up for Vonn Bell at the end of the second, so we had to trade two picks to get back into the fourth to take Onyemata...

Davison was a straight-up fifth round pick...

Our best front-line looks like Jordan-Onyemata-Bromley-Davenport and on passing downs Hendrickson-Jordan-Onyemata-Davenport...

Trey can rush the passer he isn't Stout against the run...alot this first quarter runs by the first team were to his side...a couple times he got blocked by TE's

Ouch...no Rankins. But Onyemata has passed him. I love the potential of Lawrence, Stallworth & Loewen to develop.

Oh. You’re one of THOSE guys.
Bet you are a lot of fun to watch a game with.

Maybe Brees did it to signal the location of JFKs mystery shooter. Or maybe the location of where Elvis lives after faking his own death
