Show notes

Chargers cornerback Michael Davis showed some vulnerability to the media, discussing how off-field distractions contributed to his poor 2021 season. Can he work his way back into the starting lineup? Training camp had more energy than normal on Wednesday, and things got a little chippy led by Sebastian Joseph Day tackling Austin Ekeler to the ground. The guys discuss how that extra passion and competitiveness are an underrated part of the Chargers free agency addition. Rookie JT Woods played physical at practice as well, working with the first team unit. We know the running back situation is still up the air, but where does Zander Horvath fit in, and did Larry Rountree fumble his chance at playing time away?

DeAndre Carter And Donald Parham Could Be Los Angeles Chargers' Secret Weapons Aug 04, 2022

Show notes

The Los Angeles Chargers offense is one of the most dangerous units in the NFL featuring guys like Keenan Allen, MIke Williams, and Austin Ekeler. Dynamic players with track records or success. There are however, a couple of lesser known guys that are poised to become secret weapons for the bolts. Return specialist/wide receiver DeAndre Carter, and Tight End's Donald Parham Jr and Gerald Everett. Carter has been dangerous in red zone drills racking up four touchdowns. Donald Parham Jr is starting to emerge and make plays after a slow start. He's capable of so much more than he's done. Gerald Everett is playing in the best offense he's ever been in, and playing with the best quarterback he's ever played with. All 3 of these players bring skillsets to the table that can broaden the offensive menu for the Chargers in 2022.
