Awesome Herbie article….leaves me thinking about how poorly we used him. I remember when the draft knock on him was that he didn’t come off his number 1. https://www.theringer.com/nfl/2022/8/31 ... s-chargers

Sounds like most of the Oregon guys who were released will likely be kept on as practice squad members.
I'm actually a little surprised that AB didn't get claimed by the Seahawks with how atrocious their QB room is.

I agree with you that so far all of those guys will be back on the Practice Squad. Ugo ended up making the final 53 for the Titans and he's expected to take on a primary role on ST and at Nickel. He definitely fits as a Vrabel guy in perhaps the same kind of way that Chung was for Bill B as someone who will do their job even if not as a Pro Bowl caliber guy.

Would love to see the Charger pick up Devon Allen and have Justin throwing 65-yard bombs. Doesn't it seem like Allen could open up the field for other receivers as well? I don't get it.

Chargers already have Mike Williams in that role. The Eagles are reportedly signing Allen to the practice squad, so they can work on things to get him ready for the next level. He HAS been out of football for a few years. Give him time.

Jalen Guyton plays that deep burner role not Mike Williams who was like 2nd in the league last year in YAC but largely because CBs struggle to tackle him and not because he just out-runs everyone.

I was a big advocate for Devon signing there but the Eagles wisely picked him up and now if the Chargers want him they have to sign him to the Active Roster and that isn't happening when they've got 5 they really like and a 6th in Bandy on the Practice Squad. Guyton and Deandre Carter will be the 2 deep threats this year for LAC but unless Staley gets in Joe Lombardi's ear, expect Justin to once again be in the middle of the league for the # of medium to deep shots he takes. Hell, a lot of the analysts are all projecting a significant drop in Yards/TDs for him on the basis that they think LAC will run more.

Williams got released pretty early in preseason by the Ravens.

I'd think going forward NIL might help those fringe guys who leave a year early for money reasons

Falcons sure choked one away against the Saints today. I’m still wondering how coaches at the collegiate and pro level still so often think playing not to lose is a good idea.
