Chargers Lose Tolzien, Fill Six of Eight Spots on Practice Squad

Allows for partial spots on the PS.

Therefore, OG is not eligible to join anyone’s practice squad.

i think was their logic on that one…LB’s and speed guys on ST is what we need to add some more W’s.

It’s not a big loss, but it’s not ideal either.

Cooper sounds like he might almost be day-to-day from what KA has been reporting, plus they need to be convinced that Diggs can actually make a decent transition to our version of the 3-4 (unless of course he has been brought in with that masterplan of a move to the 4-3!).

Depending on when they finally get tired of the Alex Smith experiment

was surprised that the team even wanted to bring him back to the practice squad after watching him in several practices. To me he just looked like he had gotten by his whole career on brute strength and no technique and it clearly showed when he worked out next to the rest of our DLinemen, he just looked awkward and clumsy at times (in my completely unprofessional opinion).

Will be interesting to see how he does on the practice squad…he seems a bit tall to be an interior lineman so its interesting that they decided to keep 2 OT’s on the practice squad when we just locked McNeill and Clary up long term. I guess Dombrowski is coming up on the end of his contract, so maybe that’s why.

I guess the team’s outlook on Tutu is this: they can find a player like him anywhere on the street. PR17 made him look good at receiver last year, not the other way around. I guess they figure the skillset that he brings to the table is more replaceable than the skill set that Walters brings.

He wasn’t particularly fast, and his hands were only somewhat reliable…the only thing he brought to the table was his height.

Now, here’s the thing about getting rid of Tutu that leaves me the most worried and isn;t really being mentioned: He has been Mathews’ roommate since college. I would like to think that I don’t have to worry about Mathews as he is a grown man with a promising career, but he already showed a lack of maturity with some of his decisions this past offseason, at least as far as workouts go. Without really knowing anything about these players personally, I can only assume that Tutu was a good influence on Mathews since Tutu was always on the bubble on being on the team having not been drafted and might have kept Mathews motivated with his own workouts…now Tutu is off to Carolina and Mathews is a rich young man living by himself (I think the Silver Fox said in PB).
