Open Thread: Miami Dolphins at San Diego Chargers, 2nd Half

in San Diego Chargers Game Day Open Threads
Email
PrintAre Miami's quarterbacks cursed against the Chargers? In the second consecutive meeting between these two teams, Miami's starting quarterback has been knocked out of the game. Chad Henne — who came in to fill in for Chad Pennington when he was knocked out of the game in 2009 — was knocked out of this game when he injured his shoulder on a broken-up play and ran it himself.
So that brings in Matt Moore. All is not lost for Miami, however, as Moore came into the game and immediately led the Dolphins on a 51-yard scoring drive, capped off by a 0.5-yard touchdown run by Lex Hilliard.
If there's one major criticism of this Chargers team, it's been turnovers. Things started to look promising for the Chargers when Marcus Gilchrist — starting in place of Quentin Jammer — intercepted a Chad Henne pass. The interception was basically wasted, however, as the Chargers offense went three-and-out for the second time in the game. But, at least they got a turnover, right?
Mike Tolbert did the best he could to equalize the turnover battle when he fumbled the ball mid-field, but thankfully Randy McMichael fell on the ball to recover it for the good guys.
You can tell this defense is trying to create turnovers more, as the defenders are playing to strip the ball more and more on tackles. One of these times, the football is bound to pop out.
The Chargers offense has had some trouble at times finding their stride. Ryan Mathews has been relatively quiet in the gameThe best play of the first half came when Philip Rivers aired out a 55-yard touchdown pass to Vincent Jackson, which tied the score at 7. Both teams would trade field goals before the Chargers managed to drive 49 yards and Nick Novak hit a 48-yard field goal with 7 seconds remaining in the half.
So San Diego goes back to the locker room with the lead, albeit barely. Hopefully Norv can make his usual second-half adjustments and the team can put the game away.

To be fair
Chad Pennington is made of glass.

it's impressive that Jackson is so good when we don't take so much advantage of his height
I was watching DAL vs DET, and Calvin Johnson just jumped all day. Most of Jackson catches seem so be while jumping and catching the ball around his pody, not with his arms fully extended.
In our long passes, is all about route running and separation.

That's different.
You can’t really say the INT would have been made anyway, because technically the WR didn’t have a chance to go for the ball, and the ball was in the area.

Commercial break question
What is everyone’s feeling towards Dan Fouts?
I grew up with Stan Humphries, John Friesz, Craig Whelihan, and Ryan Leaf as my Chargers QBs. I know Fouts was a great Chargers QB and that’s great, but since I only really have experienced him as football color man (to Brent Musberger and Ian Eagle), my first thought about him is not about what he did on the field.
Part of this might be because he’s a member of the media and can’t show favoritism, but does anybody else feel similarly?

Just trying to further elaborate
Fouts was one of the better Chargers of all-time, but you don’t see ANY people wearing throwback Fouts jerseys. In comparison to past Chargers and even Padres greats, that’s pretty bad, considering the man is in both the Chargers and Pro Football Hall of Fame.
And I don’t know if it’s his fault, or maybe it is. Do people hate Fouts?

Also
One of the reasons I think would be good to have Jammer + Gilchrist as CB1 and CB2, but as noted below, I don’t really understand how it works (no sarcasm)
by Lightning Hobo on Oct 2, 2011 3:51 PM PDT up reply actions
Not really
I think people are overreacting to the zone plays that have been abused on his side. He hasn’t been great, but I think people misunderstand how zone D works.

personally
i blame the inability to touch the qb without a penalty. hitting the qb is the main way to make a defense good.
Not sure how many people watch Inside the NFL
They said basically the same thing. The defenses are so handicapped now all over the field. Defenseless receiver?
Plus, you can’t hit the QB anywhere other than right at the numbers. If a defender is on the ground, he’s now out of the play, can’t go after the QB anymore.

We're thinner than we would like on TE
Lots of good plays with 2 TE in our book. We may end up drafting one next year. And we can all complain about the round he will be picked for about 2-3 years until we forget about it.

it was a little behind him, Rivers RELAXXXXXXXXXX
5 Bad things
- 3rd down conversion: It’s been a concern in this game. Things could be really different.
I'm pretty sure SD is still #1 on 3rd down conversions
6/10/2010 - Tra Thomas signs with the Chargers
8/21/2010 - Tra Thomas retires.
That was fast.
actually
chargers were first in 3rd down conversions heading into this game
We had tons of first downs
Just not so many on 3rd down.

I saw some positives
I want to see more improvement against the donkeys next week

Dude, it's a win
Enjoy it. They’re hard to get, even against the Dolphins with a backup QB. The D got sacks and INTs, the O didn’t turn the ball over, Jackson caught a deep pass Mathews looks amazing, etc. We’re missing some important guys in Gates, Castillo, Jammer, etc. and still got a win.

The O-line looked really solid both in running and pass protection
Against a D with Soliai, Wake and Danbsy we won some 1-on-1’s!
We had a Larry English sack! He beat Lang! Donald Butler made few mistakes and some big plays! Spikes looked better than last week!

They all lost a few close games
Some against the Chargers, they might as well been 2-1 instead of the Chargers
by Lightning Hobo on Oct 2, 2011 4:23 PM PDT up reply actions
they are beating the teams they are supposed to beat
unlike last year
On the other hand, you have different fingers.
That's the thing right there
It hasn’t been pretty, but they’re winning the ‘easy’ games. There are still a ton of problems with this team, but no complaints this week. Solid win.

Just want to see a quality win before I get overly optimistic
3-1
I can’t complain about that.

Hey you're right
First place once again. Best start to a season in a long time. Denver should be a slaughter (but they’ll play us tough so who knows), and we have a hell of a schedule after the Bye, but we’re alright so far.
