San Diego Chargers Daily Links: August 8, 2014

Branden Oliver Makes Name for Himself - Ricky Henne
“You want to talk about fun to watch, that guy is lightning in a bottle,” Kellen Clemens said.  “He is going to be a good back and I’m glad he is here.”

Inman’s Big Day Proves Practice Makes Perfect - Ricky Henne
“I told Dontrelle as we broke the huddle just be alert, because I knew what the route could be and it’s a play we ran in practice a bunch of times,” said Kellen Clemens, who delivered the ball.  “He had a great release on the play, and I knew we were post-safety man press coverage. So he had a great release and turned on the jets once he got it.  So it was fun to watch.”

Chargers offense has big 'but' - Michael Gehlken (paywall)
"Unfortunately, Ryan fumbled the one, and at the end there, an offensive lineman got beat," coach Mike McCoy said. "Otherwise, we got a good play with Kellen on the third down. Too many minus plays down there. That's unacceptable, and that's something (on which) we put a major emphasis. We've got to do a better job coaching and executing what we're doing down there."

Chargers 'game' was good, considering - Kevin Acee (paywall)
We wanted to see the receivers fighting for the final two spots, and we did. Dontrelle Inman continued to do make catches (one for 70 yards and a touchdown) and solidify his spot. Seyi Ajirotutu had one catch for 10 yards and remained on the No.1 kick coverage units. Tevin Reese caught a pass for 17 yards on a crossing route that showed what he could offer. Consider the battle for the final spot ongoing.

Camp Confidential: San Diego Chargers - Eric Williams
