MUNTRADMAUS BOOT CAMP DAY 8 CRY ME A RIVERS (LA CHARGERS) By Muntradamus BEAST DOME NATION. The Chargers are not a team that gets a lot of love. They never really go far, nobody really likes Phillip Rivers. Well the LA county needed a different team than the Rams who are a burn and crash franchise as long as Goff is around. Are the Chargers the answer? DEFENSE B The Chargers D Line with Joey Bossa and Corey Liuget can actually get pressure. When you add maybe it's Mebane as the DT, you realize this Chargers Defense can make noise as far as getting pressure. Denzel Perryman and Melvin Ingram are both talented players at Linebacker. The Secondary has big names like Dwight Lowery and Jason Verrett did a great job in 2016. Let us give some credit to Casey Hayward and Jahleel Addae can definitely hit. All of a sudden you realize, the Chargers Defense is not that bad. Maybe with a healthy Bossa and Mebane, we can see a surprise Defensive unit led by DC ex Jaguars Head Coach Gus Bradley. He has a lot to prove, he has a talented unit. OFFENSE B+ Danny Woodhead is no longer in town, Branden Oliver (RB 4) who filled in nicely during his 2004 Rookie Season will slide into that role. He sat out all of 2016 with an Achilles injury. Which means, Melvin Gordon (RB 1/2) is the heart and soul of this offense. Yes Phillip Rivers (QB 1/2) is still QB, and he can sling the ball to his many talents like Keenan Allen (WR 2/3) who always finds his way to a strong season, if injuries never stood in the way. As well as Tyrell Williams (Waiver Wire)/Dontrelle Inman (Waiver Wire)/Antonio Gates (TE 2)/Hunter Henry (TE 2), and #7 overall pick Mike Williams (WR 3/4) who could be an instant superstar. All of a sudden Phillip Rivers has enough weapons to be a very dangerous QB where 300 Yards/game is possible. The Chargers can throw the ball, they can run the ball. When it comes to being able to block, the Chargers grabbed ex Pro Bowl Russell Okung, and 2nd Round Pick Forrest Lamp. The two additions plus Orlando Franklin and Matt Slauson make for a good sleeper unit up front. IF MUNTRADAMUS WAS COACH If I want to pass, I will pass. If I want to run I will run. I have enough weapons where you better play me straight up and honest. If you lean towards stopping the run I will tear you up through the air, if you play me normal, I will run down your throat. The Chargers will move the ball with ease. EARLY DRAFT STRATEGY Melvin Gordon could sneak into the overall strategy. Great upside for 1500 Yards and 10+ TD. Phillip Rivers could sneak into backup QB discussion. Great upside.
