This leaves less to block Luigit and Garay. Anyway you look at it it's a plus. Yes the safetys have to be aware of the screen, but I've seen phillips recognise it so fast it didn't work. In the 3-4 pressure is a must. All these guys can get it done. Coaching is really lacking, and I'm not blaming Manusky, the same thing happen to Rivera. Who is telling them what game plan to run. Turner Spanos better wake up and fire Smith and Turner and get Cowher to come guide this team to it's first Superbowl. I also don't want to hear anyone badmouth Ross. He took a ragtag team and got them where they should not have been.

I'm just a little more cynical than most. I remember driving to work in 1987. That was Al Saunders' 1st full season. (Remember how Spanos shamelessly stabbed Coryell in the back, halfway thru the '86 season?) At any rate, in '87 the Chargers vacced. And, having been spoiled by Fouts & Coryell , the Charger fans were very disappointed, as well as very vocal. At any rate, I heard say-hey-Alex (much like a 4 year old) threaten to 'take his ball and go home'. Ie., in 1987, after a bit of well deserved fan criticism, the HammerHead publicly threatened, on live radio, to move his team. I don't think they are stupid. I think they are just insatiably greedy, and incredibly devious.Yeah, good ole AJ, Norv & Deano--those window closing 'Poop Boys'. @epadaon No, I’ve been a big Bolt fan since 1979.
