With the offseason activity in the Chargers organization, one thing has become increasingly apparent. Either you produce, or your'e gone.
With the release of Ladianin Tomlinson, Jamal Williams and Antonio Cromartie, some veterans comfort factor must have been shot way down.

The college years are the most important time in developing these prospects. It all starts with recruiting such as getting the top high school players around the country and bringing them up through the ranks.
Finally these men that where ...
The pass rusher is one of the most important positions in the NFL, whether it's the defensive end position in the 4-3 defense or the outside linebacker in the 3-4 defense.

Posted: 15th May 2010 by Patrick DeCola in NFL
Whether he wants to admit it or not, there are problems in the world of Jerry.
One wide receiver needs a new contract.
One refuses to attend OTAs until his role is defined, otherwise he’ll demand a trade.
One was taken in the first round amid some of the most bizarre controversy I’ve witnessed in the NFL.
And one refuses to sit in favor of anyone better than him, because the notion is inconceivable.

Denver Broncos’ Tim Tebow Is Not Your Ordinary NFL Quarterback
Posted: 15th May 2010 by Rich Kurtzman in NFL
Tim Tebow is just an ordinary American.
He is a devout Christian that actually reads his bible and takes many of its passages to heart.
This quote he said about teammates at Florida includes the Golden Rule: “You just try to be nice to everybody and treat them all the same. Treat them how you would want to be treated.”
Tebow loves sports, namely football, but baseball too.

The NFC North, it seems, is becoming one of the toughest divisions in the league.
Since the draft is over and most of free agency is done, we can have a much closer look, and have a much better idea, at what each team will be capable of next season.
The Vikings are heralded as possibly the best team in the NFC Conference. The Packers won seven of their last eight games. ...
NFL rookies come into the league with high hopes and high expectations. Until they take the field every first-rounder's a perrenial pro-bowler while each second and third can become a day one starter.
The truth generally comes up something short of expectation, that is especially true when additional factors add up to boost those expectations beyond the ordinary pressures afforded a rookie.
How many will fold under that pressure and how ...
2010 NFL Preview: San Diego Chargers Calling for Play-Makers, Hopefully
Posted: 15th May 2010 by Jeremy Beckett in NFL
One thing I was bummed out about last pre-season were the final cuts made at the wide receiver category.
Charger fans were treated to several great performances by Charley Martin. He looked like a great addition to the Chargers receiver corps, and every game he put his heart and soul into his performance.
After several games with multiple grabs, tough catches, and solid play, he was cut and disappeared off the Chargers ...
