On offense, two players who emerged as starters late last season will now handle those roles on a full-time basis. On defense, the League's best ball-hawking secondary has a new linchpin. http://sdg.scout.com/2/779933.html 2047 Samantha Fillerup http://sdg.scout.com/2/779933.html Sat, 16 Aug 2008 05:09:00 GMT 0 102 San Diego sdg Will the San Diego Chargers have all the right tools in place to live up to what some are predicting as their best season yet? Fans, coaches and players sure hope so. SDBoltReport.com's Samantha Fillerup profiles three injured players and the likelihood of them making it back in time for opening day. http://sdg.scout.com/2/777179.html 2047 Samantha Fillerup http://sdg.scout.com/2/777179.html Sat, 09 Aug 2008 17:11:00 GMT 0 102 San Diego sdg Because the Bolts boast one of the most versatile rosters in the NFL, Norv Turner can deploy unique formations capable of bewildering most defenses. Team expert Michael Lombardo begins a new series profiling some of these options and explaining how they work. Up first is a red-zone package that has L.T. on the sidelines. http://sdg.scout.com/2/757583.html 2047 Michael Lombardo http://sdg.scout.com/2/757583.html Tue, 27 May 2008 22:15:00 GMT 1 102 San Diego sdg The loss of Michael Turner and the release of Lorenzo Neal drove the Chargers to reinforce their backfield. To generate a smooth transition, the Bolts second and third draft selections provide a dynamite combo that should fill the void. Additionally, the Bolts snagged four undrafted players who prepare to combat for roster spots. http://sdg.scout.com/2/756358.html 2047 Jaime Cattano http://sdg.scout.com/2/756358.html Wed, 21 May 2008 04:44:00 GMT 1 102 San Diego sdg The Chargers announced today that veterans Lorenzo Neal, Marlon McCree and Shane Olivea have been released. All three began the 2006 season in the starting lineup, only to see their playing time decrease as the season wore on. The only surprise on the list is Olivea, whose fate was sealed when the Chargers signed Scott Mruczkowski to a three-year extension. http://sdg.scout.com/2/733013.html 2047 SDBoltReport.com Staff http://sdg.scout.com/2/733013.html Thu, 28 Feb 2008 23:25:00 GMT 0 102 San Diego sdg The Bolts will lose the best backup running back in the NFL this offseason when Michael Turner sells his 5.5 ypc to the highest bidder. But don’t expect A.J. Smith to scurry in search of a replacement. Tyronne Gross is more than ready to split time with Darren Sproles as LaDainian Tomlinson's backup. http://sdg.scout.com/2/730068.html 2047 Michael Lombardo http://sdg.scout.com/2/730068.html Mon, 18 Feb 2008 23:46:00 GMT 1 102 San Diego sdg Our Scout.com experts, Jimmy Morris of TitansInsiders.com and Michael Lombardo of SDBoltReport.com, analyze Sunday's playoff game between the Titans and Chargers at Qualcomm Stadium. Let's wrap up this series with six questions from Jimmy to Mike. http://sdg.scout.com/2/716822.html 2047 M. Lombardo/J. Morris http://sdg.scout.com/2/716822.html Fri, 04 Jan 2008 04:52:00 GMT 1 102 San Diego sdg Are there any teams hotter than the Chargers? The Chargers (9-5) have won a season-high four straight games and eight of their past 10. Plus, they have their playoff invitation tucked away by winning their third AFC West crown in four seasons. http://sdg.scout.com/2/713065.html 2047 SDBoltReport.com Staff http://sdg.scout.com/2/713065.html Thu, 20 Dec 2007 03:39:00 GMT 0 102 San Diego sdg The Chargers have upped the ante after clobbering the Detroit Lions and clinching the AFC West. The disciplined troops set new records, clearing the bench and revealing remarkable depth. Sizzling as a whole and capitalizing on every opportunity, the Chargers are contenders once again. http://sdg.scout.com/2/712782.html 2047 Jaime Cattano http://sdg.scout.com/2/712782.html Wed, 19 Dec 2007 06:37:00 GMT 1 102 San Diego sdg The Chargers look to tie up the AFC West title and eliminate the Detroit Lions from the postseason picture when the teams collide on Sunday. The Chargers are riding a three-game winning streak, but will be without some key players who made that possible. Do the Chargers have enough to clinch another division crown? http://sdg.scout.com/2/711717.html 2047 Michael Lombardo http://sdg.scout.com/2/711717.html Sun, 16 Dec 2007 00:46:00 GMT 1 102 San Diego sdg The finish line is in sight, and the Chargers are limping their way there. Norv Turner's banged-up team is one win away from clinching another AFC West title. http://sdg.scout.com/2/711506.html 2047 SDBoltReport.com Staff http://sdg.scout.com/2/711506.html Sat, 15 Dec 2007 02:45:00 GMT 0 102 San Diego sdg In week 15, the Chargers are in a good spot to clinch the AFC West. However, they’re still on the wall because their Pro Bowlers had a great fall. It’s time for their backups to put the Chargers together again. Here are five key players to watch in Sunday’s game. http://sdg.scout.com/2/711485.html 2047 Amberly Richardson http://sdg.scout.com/2/711485.html Sat, 15 Dec 2007 00:47:00 GMT 1 102 San Diego sdg After 13 weeks of turbulence, the Chargers are finally where they want to be: one win away from their third AFC West championship in four years. San Diego has three chances wrap up the division, with the first coming this Sunday at Qualcomm Stadium, where the Chargers have won 13 of their last 14. http://sdg.scout.com/2/711290.html 2047 Michael Lombardo http://sdg.scout.com/2/711290.html Fri, 14 Dec 2007 06:00:00 GMT 1 102 San Diego sdg The Chargers’ injury report will be littered with big names this week. Lorenzo Neal is out for the rest of the regular season. Shawne Merriman and Luis Castillo will be inactive against Detroit. And Jamal Williams is a big-time question mark with a badly sprained ankle. How will the Chargers cope with this rash of injuries? http://sdg.scout.com/2/710317.html 2047 Michael Lombardo http://sdg.scout.com/2/710317.html Tue, 11 Dec 2007 06:21:00 GMT 1 102 San Diego sdg While the talking heads debate whether the New England Patriots own the best offense in NFL history, San Diego loads up for a historic offensive charge of its own. If Chris Chambers acclimates quickly and Cory Withrow picks up where Nick Hardwick left off, the Chargers will claim the NFL's most potent scoring unit. http://sdg.scout.com/2/692319.html 2047 SDBoltReport.com Staff http://sdg.scout.com/2/692319.html Fri, 19 Oct 2007 03:37:00 GMT 0 102 San Diego sdg The Chargers 38-point win in Denver conjured up memories of a dominant '06 season. Watching film on the '07 Raiders had no such effect. Oakland returns its stingy defense and adds to it a potent running game and a quarterback who can make plays with his arms and legs. http://sdg.scout.com/2/689812.html 2047 SDBoltReport.com Staff http://sdg.scout.com/2/689812.html Fri, 12 Oct 2007 03:26:00 GMT 0 102 San Diego sdg A look at the standings shows the Chargers as a 2-3 team. A look in the locker room reveals all the confidence of last year's 14-win squad. It turns out, a 38-point win was more than enough to undo weeks of critiques and criticisms. http://sdg.scout.com/2/688986.html 2047 SDBoltReport.com Staff http://sdg.scout.com/2/688986.html Wed, 10 Oct 2007 04:34:00 GMT 0 102 San Diego sdg Even in sunny San Diego, there is a gray cloud hovering over the Chargers. As the players work to put a positive spin on their downward spiral, the coaches add another Pro Bowl performer to the injury list and learn that Eric Parker's situation is worse than originally expected. http://sdg.scout.com/2/686413.html 2047 SDBoltReport.com Staff http://sdg.scout.com/2/686413.html Wed, 03 Oct 2007 02:33:00 GMT 1 102 San Diego sdg Games like this are exactly why the Chargers installed the 3-4 defense. Tom Brady is arguably the best quarterback in the league and has more weapons than the New York Police Department. The Chargers must get to Brady before he carves up their secondary like a holiday bird. http://sdg.scout.com/2/680206.html 2047 SDBoltReport.com Staff http://sdg.scout.com/2/680206.html Sun, 16 Sep 2007 06:39:00 GMT 0 102 San Diego sdg The Chargers got a head start on their final cuts, releasing six players. Titus Adams, Kelly Griffeth, Gabe Franklin, Mike Warren, Brian Monroe and Onrea Jones were let go. It was also announced that Germaine Race will miss the season with a toe injury. http://sdg.scout.com/2/674385.html 2047 Amberly Richardson http://sdg.scout.com/2/674385.html Sat, 01 Sep 2007 01:33:00 GMT 0 102 San Diego sdg
