QUICK HITS;
#Chargers meeting with Denver offensive coord Mike McCoy today. Who is known for his QB relations, taking Jake Delhomme, Tim Tebow and Peyton Manning to the playoffs.
It's being reported by Sports Illustrator's Jim Trotter that, Jimmy Raye now former Charger director of player personnel (that was supposedly a shoe in for the GM position now moves on) hired by the Indianapolis Colts and takes Tom Tellesco's position (vice president of football operations).
More Indianapolis San Diego connections; Bruce Arians (Colt's interim HC & Offensive coord) interview moved to Wednesday.
And later today a recap of the amazing Divisional Playoffs this last weekend, Im taking good football!!

KC @ SD on THURSDAY NIGHT; MORE THAN YOU CAN VISUALLY SEE
This team has dealt with adversity
Ground Hog Day - yes, sure feels like it, but they know adversity, at least they did last year and not all the players are gone- so lets just say... yes
Many free agents, Ronnie brown is the player that stood out on Sunday 85 rec (& leader) 102 all purpose yards.
Yes the sky feels like its falling
And things have changed
Urgency, passion, vets stepping up, but this is familiar to last year, too!
ADVERSITY!
The hails to #firenorv #dethroneAJ and speculation with #rivers-
just sit down for ONE minute.
1. Short week
2. Norv has best report with River (obvious side note; Rivers not quite right, with so much pressure an uncertainty on the line, he's scarred and hurried even when he's got time)
3. Whitehurst is no replacement, would rather see LSU Lee (but he's gone, was released from the practice squad on the final cut)
4. Norv is also OFF coord- you can't mess with that now regardless of how u feel on a short week.
Blackout an almost given - The gods stepped in on monday and voided the inevitable blackout with the lowly Chiefs struggling tickets at 50%, to sell a once sold out stadium, and with no luck.
AN Up and arms San Diego community who hasn't stopped ranting who have been threatening picketing, of all the above referenced.
JUST TAKE A BREATH! and yes, Im worried too, how can you not be, but I do know that this team struggled tremendously last season as well and somehow the locker room didn't cave in and their were no fights….so have a lil hope. Yes this is not the same team and you can blame all possibilities, there are no answers only solutions to come that can amend this state.
I remember almost too vividly this horrible INT in the endzone on game day vs KC a big loss at Qualcomm. First time I've been at any game and heard fans BOOING, screaming FIRE NORV and chanting MARTY. I'll just say Chiefs always tweak me out, I was on the field, and awed.
MalcomFloyd.iintercept(23)Surtain.%C2%A9des.jpg)
I'm also worried about the National televised game ratio as of late, however, I'm in both mode, fan and friend, so I'm not sure which way to wear my jersey or not put it on, inside out? on my bag? I'm right there with you.
But if they loose, what happens??
Rattle to make changes?
Is Kevin Acee correct in assuming that Norv would be fired??
Ok again, hold your horses………..
hold on!!
If things fall more apart, and the Chargers are 3-5 when you wake up from a hangover tomorrow…..there technically not out of it. Its only week 9.
But lets just say, ( and I hope I'm wrong) but……..
didn't you realize that its AJ Smith? Are you that naive??
NO POWERFULL HEAD COACH, a passion filled verbal coach with a record for winning playoffs, locker rooms and superbowls IS NOT COMING TO SAN DIEGO WITH AJ AT HELM, I've said it for years, any one of your probable or possible or wishful coaches isn't going to lay down for AJ.
Do you really want your team to loose???
DON'T YOU NEED TO TRY AND LOOK FOR THE POSITIVES??
That is for your own sanity??
Good Luck SD! Rooting for you boys!
Its about 15% full now, wondering how this will look on TV.
HOPE THAT THE OLD SAYING "IF MISERY LOVES COMPANY" ISN'T APPLICABLE TONIGHT!

HISTORY MAKING TOTAL NATIONAL HUMILIATION ON PRIME TIME FOR ALL TO WITNESS ON MNF
BIGGEST COME BACK EVER IN NFL HISTORY!
THE BLAME GAME,
A COLLAPSE,
CATASTROPHE,
FINGER POINTING,
FANS OUTRAGED
AND VYING FOR NORV, RIVER AND AJ HEADS'
A PREMONITION OF ALL GAMES BLACKED OUT
NFL.COM HAS A POSITION TOO, AS EVERYONE NATIONALLY I'M SURE DOES
GRIM GRIM PRE-HALLOWEEN GREETINGS FROM LAST NIGHTS DEBACLE AT THE Q.
FEELING PRETTY GOOD AT THE HALF UP 24 TO NOTHING, IT APPEARED THE CHARGERS HAD ALL ON THEIR SIDE, JAMMER'S FIRST PICK 6 AND ERIC DECKER SLIPS WHILE ONLY GREEN AND THE GOAL AHEAD IT SEEMED AS IF THINGS WERE GOING THEIR WAY
HOWEVER..........
IT BECAME VISIBLE AS THE BRONCOS EMERGED FOR THE 2ND HALF DOWN 24 POINTS AND READY TO WIN, WHILE THE BOLTS VISIBLY LEFT THEIR CLEATS ALONG WITH THEIR HEARTS IN THE LOCKER ROOM WHEN THEY RETURNED FOR THE LAST 30 MINUTES OF THE GAME. PEYTON MANNING'S BRONCOS CAME BACK WITH 35 UNANSWERED POINTS 6 TOTAL TURNOVERS FOR RIVERS ALONE, (4 INT'S AND 2 FUMBLES).
DURING THE 2ND QUARTER CAMERA'S SHOWED PETYON LOOKING LIVID A RARITY - I DON'T THINK IVE EVER SEEN HIM LOOK DISHEVELED ON THE SIDELINES, WE JOKED THINKING WHAT HE MAY DO AT THE HALF RUN IN TO THE BATHROOM AND LOCK THE DOOR TO SCREAM?? NOPE I THINK HE WENT IN AND SAID OK GUYS LISTEN UP, AND WE'LL WIN! OH YEAH ALSO, THEY DON'T FINISH!
PLUS JOHN FOX IS A GREAT COACH AS I VIEWED LAST SEASON WHERE HE WAS AND IS ABLE TO UTILIZE PLAYERS FOR THE BEST OF THE TEAM TO BENEFIT, LAST YEAR HE WAS ABLE TO USE TEBOW'S (A TIGHT END MASQUERADING AS A QB) STRENGTHS TO BEAT PITTSBURGH. GUESS WHAT? MANNING IS THERE NOW.
HOWEVER…THAT BEING SAID AND STATED, A FOOTBALL GAME IS 60 MINUTES, 4 QUARTERS YOU ARE TAUGHT TO PLAY THE FULL TIME.
IF THE BOLTS CAN LEARN FROM 2 CONSECUTIVE WEEKS 52-7 KILLING IN THE SECOND HALF, BOTH LEADING BY DOUBLE DIGITS AND YET UNABLE TO FINISH. NO DAGGER, WELL ACTUALLY THERE WAS ONE TO THE FANS AND TO THE TEAM. IF THEY CAN TAKE THIS AND LEARN THERE IS HOPE.
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE KILL, THIS WASN'T 52-0 AT THE HALF WHERE YOU FIND COMPASSION IN YOUR OPPONENT IT WAS A MERE 24 POINT LEAD WITH ONE OF THE BEST FOURTH QUARTER COMEBACK TEAMS IN THE LEAGUE. A MVP AT THE HELM……. GAME WASN'T OVER IT WAS MERELY THE HALF.
XX1090 JUST AIRED NORV'S PRESSER, DEFINITELY WORTH SOME EARS TO HEAR BETWEEN THE LINES, HE GOT A LIL UNRAVELED WHICH IS ALSO A RARITY, FROM THE COMPOSED OR VERSED HEAD COACH. MEDIA PRESSED DESERVINGLY SO FOR ANSWERS FOR YOU THE FANS.
A LONG 13 DAYS AS THE CHARGERS TRY AND FORGET THIS UNFORGETTABLE DISASTER THEN PREPARE FOR THE BROWNS WHO ARE GOING IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION WITH OUT MIKE HOLMGREN.

#MNF CHARGERS VS BRONCOS
IN LESS THAN AN HOUR THE CHARGERS WILL HOST THE PEYTON MANNING DENVER BRONCOS.
Peyton has stayed true to his species, from a Colt to a Bronco.
Chargers just edge over the Broncos in the 22 last meetings with 12 wins.
Variables or one specific to recon with is the missing link, Jared Gaither will not play.
Un drafted Bruin, Mike Harris will take command, now with a few games under his belt.
However not only the blindside is effected as the running game takes a toll too.
Running lanes, created by who??
San Diego has the NFL's 5th-ranked rush defense allowing an average of 74.0 yards
McGahee is only back to exceed 100 yards rushing in the last dozen games vs the Chargers.
Denver's defense has allowed an average of 120 yards a game, but can they make the lanes?
It is Monday Night Football however, and no matter what the Chargers seem to rise to the occassion along with matching up well with the former Colt leader, the pieces are different in Denver but Manning has something special to be reconned with. Look for Shaun Phillips to have a big night and looking to see Atari Bigby and Eric Weddle to have a pick or two!
This is sound from last year, but MNF is MNF! Always exciting!
http://soundcloud.com/thedesireeshow/charger-players-on-mnf-the
And the Chargers have a bye week just following tonight, thus you need to stick a win, to relish it for the week off, plus this is a Division Game!!
A SHOT AT THE BRAGGING RIGHTS AND MOMENTUM FOR THE BYE WEEK.
Half time SD local and NFL analyst Phil Michelson will attempting a shot (per PGA 14%) attempts on for a million dollar charity contribution. Already giving the ESPN team some stats and his opinions only as a CHARGER fan can do.
BIG Game! Lots although early in the season, lots on the line.
PS Parking lots is full, closed and smoking with tailgating aroma's
Lightning striking Broncos

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.
