Anleitungen » With the first preseason game of the 2019 NFL Season

2 days away Rayshawn Jenkins Jersey , we are starting to get pretty excited over here at BFTB. So we all thought we’d share our thoughts on who we are most excited to see when the Los Angeles Chargers have the ball on Thursday Night against the Arizona Cardinals.Garrett Sisti: “Excited” might not be the word but offensively I’m going to be focused on the Tackles. Sam Tevi and Trent Scott are gonna be asked to protect Philip Rivers for the foreseeable future and while preseason might not count, it will be their first test as starters. Actually Forrest Lamp might be the guy I’m “excited” about. Jason Michaels:I am excited to see how the running backs perform, as there’s definitely going to be a lot of focus on that for the early games this year.Both sportswriters and fans alike are eager to see if there’s promise or if there’s dread.As for defense, I think everyone’s excited to hopefully see Lamp break out, wait that’s still offense? who cares #IloveLampRuben Gonzalez:I’m always excited to get my first look at the WR position. Granted, nobody new was added this year to make me curious about anyone, but with nobody to challenge him at the WR2 spot, I think we are finally going to see the true potential of Mike Williams. It’s year 3 for Williams and if Rivers can have some decent time in the pocket, it’s going to be a helluva year.Matthew Stanley: On offense there are a few positions to be interested in, RB, OT http://www.thechargerslockerroom.com/authentic-justin-jones-jersey , WR. But I’m honestly ready for some Cleo Lemon flashbacks as the Chargers actually have a couple of QBs in Tyrod Taylor and Easton Stick that should be fun to watch during the preseason. It will be a nice change of pace to see some sustained drives on offense with 17 on the sideline after the last 10 years of meh backups going 3 and out basically every drive. Which hopefully proves beneficial to the other players on offense battling for a spot.Mike Murray: I know this is not answering the question but... On offense I am excited to see how much Justin Jackson has grown and if he is ready to carry the bulk of the load, I want to see how good Artavis Scott is looking as he is likely to slide into that 4 receiver slot and who doesn’t want to see a little Easton Stick. Nate Lewkowitz: Offense: The obvious position group to keep an eye on is tackle. As far as excitement goes, Lamp will be fun to watch and so will the running backs but those are both sorted out for the most part. Wide Receiver is going to be interesting to see if guys like Geremy Davis or Artavis Scott can build on strong preseasons to either steal or share time with Benjamin as the WR3.Jamie Hoyle: I’m not sure “excited” is the right word, but I’ll enter Thursday’s game against the Cardinals with a morbid curiosity about the offensive line. I’m definitely excited to see the first official installment of Lamp v Feeney at LG. Ill also be watching Sam Tevi and Trent Scott at the tackle positions with a fair amount of morbid curiosity to see how they handle themselves. Same thing with Trey Pipkins. I really want to see how those three look in live game action.Richard Wade: Offensively, I’m really looking forward to watching the quarterbacks. Tyrod Taylor and Easton Stick are both really intriguing for different reasons. Taylor is the first quality backup we have seen in lightning bolts since Billy Volek and I’m excited to see the backup skill position players have an actual professional throwing to them in preseason. And Stick is just a really fascinating player that I have no real concept of what he will look like facing NFL defenses.Michael Peterson: I am stoked to watch the back-up quarterbacks. They’re far and away the best and most entertaining depth players the Chargers’ have had in some time. Also pumped to see Detrez Newsome get the bulk of the carries this preseason once again. The Los Angeles Chargers were playing shorthanded Sunday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers. It’s a narrative they’ve probably heard all season.

The difference however was it was on the offensive side of the ball. While the defense had seen its fair share of injuries, the Bolts surging offense had remained relatively healthy. Sunday wasn’t that case. The Bolts would be without their lead running back Melvin Gordon following their 45-10 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. The former Badger star was ruled out for several weeks with an MCL sprain in his right knee. The Bolts frontman had collected 802 yards, sixth-most in the league, and nine touchdowns this season. So, the Chargers would have to make do with the likes of Austin Ekeler and Justin Jackson in their backfield for Sunday night’s showdown. Ekeler proved to be a weapon in the passing game, limited in the running game. Jackson showed his worth of meriting a roster spot following a rough preseason with his 82 total yard performance. But in a night where playoff hopes perhaps were starting to dwindle, where a victory on the road in December could lead to a light for the team to follow into the postseason. A night where everything could have gone wrong and nearly did if not for three offside calls Womens Kyzir White Jersey , consistency played the x-factor.Once again, Keenan Allen delivered when called upon. This time, to the tune of a 33-30 victory. In a game-ending in sheer chaos, Allen proved to be the ole reliable option. Perhaps the only consistent part of Sunday evening’s events. Acting as Philip Rivers safety net, Allen found small holes and tight windows and turned them into significant gains for the Chargers offense. Finishing the night with 14 receptions for 148 yards, the former California product was the epitome of a go-to weapon. Collecting more receptions than the rest of the Chargers offense combined, Allen’s ability to find success after the catch proved to be the difference maker between a sweet victory or bitter defeat. Allen’s routes were on point nearly every snap. While targeted 19 times, the fifth-year receiver made every catchable ball thrown his way count. Predominately in the slot, Allen’s quick cuts and movements upfield against the Steelers linebacking unit was just enough to allow him to work into the second and third line of the defense. From there, it was a foot race towards the first down marker. Allen turned 10 of those 14 catches into momentum-changing first downs. Earning his stripes and becoming a consistent weapon in the red zone, that stayed consistent as well on Sunday evening. In the third quarter Virgil Green Jersey , Rivers hurled a bullet into traffic towards Allen’s direction as he broke out of his curl route. Cornerback Joe Haden jumped the gun and made the interception. His teammate Sean Davis, however, broke up the pass. Thanks to Allen’s quick reaction and smooth balance, he picked up a 10-yard score, swinging the momentum in favor of the Bolts. The Chargers found a way to win on Sunday’s wild finish. Picking up their ninth victory on the year, the team will now finish with an above .500 record for the fourth time in five years. A win next Sunday against the struggling Cincinnati Bengals will give them their first double-digit season victory since 2009. While Gordon is expected to return, there was promise in the backfield for Los Angeles to build on. Jackson’s growth as a runner could be another weapon down the stretch while Ekeler still has the ability to contribute in the passing game. But Sunday’s real storyline comes down to two players. Perhaps two of the more undervalued players at their positions in the league. As Rivers continues to battle for a chance at his first MVP trophy, his favorite target is willing and ready to make that dream a reality. Consistency helps good teams win football games. Consistency transforms good teams into great ones. Allen’s consistency is the reason the Bolts leave Pittsburgh with another ‘W’ in their column and a chance at the AFC West title a legitimate possibility.
