Tom Telesco Safe, Mike McCoy Unsafe? - Rory Parks
Acee says that three sources familiar with the inclinations of John Spanos, the team’s president of football operations, say Spanos prefers continuity among his top decision-makers, and Spanos apparently believes that injuries, more than poor roster construction, are to blame for the Chargers’ 2-7 record.

Chargers need to create more turnovers in backstretch of season - Eric Williams
Melvin Gordon has 19 rushes from 67 yards from the pistol formation this season.

The pistol formation creates more balance for a running offense and puts Gordon in a more familiar position as he would be as an I-back, giving him more ability to survey the entire field.
