Unsure of what you should be looking for when the San Diego Chargers take on the Seattle Seahawks tomorrow? Well, here's what I'll be looking for:

  • How quickly is Philip Rivers getting the ball out of his hand? This is arguably more important than the offensive line's ability to pass-block.
  • The offensive line. Specifically, I want to see how they run block. I've saw some really interesting zone-blocking type stuff on Saturday that I'd like to see in a game.
  • The new, smaller Ryan Mathews. Can he still move the pile? Does he make quick decisions? Is his pass-blocking getting any better?
  • D.J. Fluker vs. the speed rushers on Seattle's defense.
  • How well is Marcus GIlchrist adjusting to life as a Safety? (Editor's Note: I forgot Gilchrist isn't expected to play tomorrow.)
  • Is there a WR on the team that will force the team to carry six WRs?
  • How does Le'Ron McClain fit in this offense? Is Chris Gronkowski a better fit?
  • Are Cornerbacks playing sides, or are they moving around for matchups?
  • Who is returning punts?

That's my list. What are you going to be looking for besides what I have listed above?
