Our D will be stout if we can avoid injuries to most starters, but we have no clear leaders, no motivators as I see it. The silent leader Ngata is no longer. The vocal like Reed and Lewis aren't either. Who will take control? Who will inspire those last 5-10% that puts our unit over the top? Certainly not our O. Eric Weddle has the voice on the D. Tony Jefferson should also. Our silent leader is Marshal Yanda and possibly Brandon Williams. We still have plenty of communicators and inspirers. Maybe they aren't Hall of Famers, but they're quality players. What's the opinion on Eric Weddle in Baltimore? He was very popular in San Diego, but the Chargers didn't want to tie up a lot of money with an aging safety, so he was kind of a grump in his final season (not getting an extension) and the opinions were mixed when he went to the Ravens. I remember when the Chargers drafted him pretty high (2nd round) from Utah...there was a lot of surprise, but he turned out to be a pretty good player. Steve SD Blitz |

Will be interesting to see how Watson does at Houston. Do they have enough pieces around him and the coaching for him to succeed? I'd give him better odds than Trubisky... SD Blitz totally agree with all your points about infrastructure and environment to develop a QB, and on Watson > Trubisky in that regard  Last edited on 2017-05-07 23:58:31 by Buddy Ryan |

Steve SD Blitz I think most of the league views Weddle with the utmost respect. He certainly played well for us last season and I'm hoping he can continue for a couple more seasons at a decent level. We saw on the last SB run what it means to have some leadersship on D, even if their play is sub par to be perfectly honest. Jefferson is clearly the future with Mosley, etc. - but Weddle went straight in as a leader of the D. It's just, afaik, nowhere near the leadership we once had. |
