Chargers DVR: Chargers @ Broncos
Well this game was certainly a bit more exciting than it should have been. The 2nd half Tebocalypse (trademark pending) rained down on our battered bolts, but the Chargers somehow managed to hit the bye with a 4-1 record nonetheless. Here's the edited NFL.com highlights, with a little bit more zest than the last couple of weeks. In this package you'll get:
- Donald Butler's (first NFL) Interception
- Philip Rivers to Malcom Floyd for a long bomb TD at the end of the half
- Tim Tebow's Rushing TD (complete with forced politeness Kyle Orton golf clap)
- The Ghost of Ed Hoculi
- A devastating screen pass TD from Tebow to Knowshon Moreno
- Antoine Cason's huge pass defense on a Bronco try for 2 that would have tied the game
- That surreal final drive by Tebow and the Broncos
The debate has already raged at Mile High Report, but here's a closer look at the last gasp of a hail mary from Tebow. There was also a huge "hidden" play in this critical third down reception by Floyd that helped the Chargers burn three more minutes off the clock. NFL.com also had a close look at a 36 yard run by Mathews with a smooth stiffarm, and the Rivers rushing TD, complete with an emphatic spike.
Let's visit the the chargersdotcom locker room (F'in' A indeed Mr. Hardwick!):
I thought Hester looked somewhat legitimate as a NFL halfback this week, here's his best two runs of the day:
Here's the play where Tolbert was concussed. He REALLY needs to do something about his chin strap, that thing has been popping off constantly for three seasons now. Apparently it flew off again and his head hit the ground on the way down. Not a pretty picture. I would really hope to see the staff take the long term approach to bringing him back into action.
Here's a couple treats for the playbook confidential fans. First we have an empty backfield with Hester wide right (covered by a LB), and Mathews in Motion to the left. The Denver defense is forced to call a timeout because they were either unprepared, or simply caught off guard in reacting to the motion. Mathews might have been uncovered if this play had gotten off. After that, is a play where Von Miller bit on play action to Hester of all people, that resulted in Kory Sperry's first catch of the season. Note to Chargers opponents: you do not need to get that excited about Jacob Hester, although we won't mind if you do.
We'll close this week with Norv and Rivers at the podium, and then some Acee Analysis. I like the anecdote of Rivers telling Mathews to "give us thirty more minutes, and we'll give you a whole week off."

That Von Miller play was fun
Kory Sperry? This guy’s just gonna hit the flat… no sir.

Those were some massive holes for Hester to run through.

I'm watching that over and over again
On the first play: great all around blocks. Clary DOMINATING his assingnment, and though Sperry’s man make the tackle, the play would probably end there, since that was as far as Hardwick could push his blocker.

i retract my snarky remarks from yesterday
about Shaun Phillips only having good games against crappy opponents in blowout wins. He caused the bad throw that Butler intercepted, and has actually been very impactfull at critical situations this year.

Cooper
has been released? maybe that has something to do with Norv saying the team won’t go with only 4 Rb’s anymore
It's going to be 5 RB's
And no QB for the trip East
6/10/2010 - Tra Thomas signs with the Chargers
8/21/2010 - Tra Thomas retires.
That was fast.
P Crayton will be the backup...

I liked those videos from NFL.com at the beginning
The throw to Floyd was spetacular, great protection, even from Clary. McMichael was actually the worst one on the play.
Also, Ayers is really good
Also, EVERYONE is a fan of "Playbook Confidencial"
Excelent play calling in the Mathews motion, no one on D moved to cover him. Really great decision by D.J. Williams to call a time out on a 90% certain touchdown play.
This Denver D impressed me. No wonder some people argue Denver is not on a rebuilding year.
I’m very optmistic about this division. I hope we have a few years of competitive football around these parts! That 5 home games package just looks better and better.
Checked in on the MHR debate and found my favorite quote:

Message: “Nugget said”
He blames auto correct, but I still find it amusing.

Random Rivers Note
Is it just me or is it weird to see Philip NOT cleanly shaven? lol I know he’s Dan Fouts-esque but I can’t see him with the beard.
Tolbert's injury is not a "chin strap" issue - it's a loose helmet issue!
