Bolts' Gilchrist has some Marine to him - Chris Jenkins
"My dad does most of the talking anyway, so I let him do the talking," said Gilchrist, the Chargers’ rookie cornerback. "Being him, the first thing he said (after the Miami game Sunday) was something about that pass-interference call on me. He’s always getting on me about getting my head around. If I don’t hear anything else, I’ll hear him yelling at me about not getting my head around."

One player to watch - Bill Williamson
There’s reason to be excited about English for the first time in his career. The No. 16 overall pick of the 2009 draft had two sacks against Miami in Week 4. He had five sacks in his first 26 NFL games. It will be interesting to see if English can continue his pass-rush success against the Broncos on Sunday.
