SD MAKING ROOM BY MAKING MOVES

TWO MOVES IN TWENTY-FOUR HOURS

San Diego making room by making moves.
Two vets released, 12.1M under cap with one rumored, Antonio Garay, to be released later today,
if correct, will bring The Chargers 17.1 M under the cap.

A lot of spending power with the free agency kick off on Tuesday, March 12th at 4PM ET.

Yesterday,  Takeo Spikes

Earlier today, Atari Bigby

Two huge huge impact players and that's not including their captain like influences in that locker room.  They will be missed, and that's not to discredit the moves or judgement of Tom Tellesco or Mike McCoy, just sad to see them leave.  Great people, team mates and players are always missed.

Sending all the best to all these players.

Excited to see which directions they will go, well find out Tuesday lots of bustling ahead, then the Draft.

WHAT POSITIONS GO DEEPEST IN SAN DIEGO

What positions do the Chargers go deepest ?  
Decisions solidified in hours for the final 53-man roster.  
Twenty-two players dreams will be put to rest, a practice squad or if lucky another organization. These preseason games are sometimes the closest these players get in their NFL careers. 704 will be let go throughout the NFL by this evening.

Sometimes the Cinderella story follows, take Atari Bigby, in his first year was undrafted, released by two teams in the first few months of the 2005 season.  The Dolphins and then the Jets after the preseason, made it to the practice squad of a 3rd team the Green Bay Packers a few months later just before Christmas, the stars lined up and he was elevated to the active roster.  Talk about character building, determination & drive!  Since he has been one of the most talked about SS in the league, a difference maker.  He enters his 8th season in the NFL in San Diego after a year with Seattle.

The question still looms, what positions go deepest? For that's what it boils down to today.
Chargers HC Norv Turner probably has had a tentative list, however all holds are off after last nights game in SF. The slaughtering defeat vs a mid season looking Niners made it difficult to shine or sway a vote on staying.

You've got 33 positions;  offense, defense & special teams (which could go to two in special teams with kick & punt returns, both requiring a different return man & scheme).  How many receivers, backs, O-linemen, QB's, D-backs, ends, secondary players remain on the roster?? What injuries do you need reserve?  In San Diego the number one that shines at present is the Offensive line, the middle three, but that's just apart of the equation you have to allot for injuries.  Quite a difficult puzzle. Who waives good-bye to San Diego?  By this evening the puzzle will be revealed.

Two-A-Days at CHARGER PARK

New Aquistions, Draftees, Free Agents and Vets
all at 4020 Murphy Canyon Road, AKA "Camp".

The Grind in full swing.  Two-a-days in progress.

This was my first day this season down at camp.

Exciting energy going on everywhere great to see ALL!!!!
Players,  Chargers PR, coaches, media, interns and even families.

Had the opportunity to meet and talk with Ronnie Brown, former Auburn Tiger who joins 2 other alums on the team.  The colgate kid is definately a dynamite addition to the huddle and the locker room with his contagious smile and charismatic playful ways it even transends on the field!  What an asset!

Atari Bigby, what an inspiration, I think a silent captain for sure.  Then watching him practice, flying & leaping  all over the field, batting balls FOR PRACTICE!  Pretty awing, why he's been sooooo good.
Also interviewed Atari, check out video coming soon.

As always great to see a smiling Antonio Gates participating, healthy and doing what only he can do , even playing dominos.

But what came to me driving home was not all the smiles & faces but what materialized in front of my own eyes.  Families, players and their families, coaches and their families, scattered all over the practice field.  An extremely hard task for me not to capture some pictures, but it was so endearing, I wanted to be respectful... my heart sighed.   Watching the Weddle family, all I can say is that they are a walking billboard to have a family.  Shortly after  I saw Jammer playing with Eric Weddle's eldest daughter and I saw something I don't get to see that these players are not only close on the field and in the locker rooms but off in their off time as well,  true friendships, life long ones,  the most prized posession's, sharing families.

Chargers are practicing at MCAS Miramar www.miramar.usmc.mil/ today.  Pre-season game number two vs the Cowboys tomorrow at the Q and then Monday and Tuesday they will be having scrimmages, hope to go and check it out.

Lil Package on my visit coming soon, due to some power issues it was a little delayed.
