The San Diego Chargers made another move in order to help out the special teams by signing former Dallas Coyboys S Pat Watkins. Watkins was a key contributor for the Dallas Cowboys special teams unit before being cut this season.

Gary Banks was cut in order to make room for Watkins. Banks was expendable with the receivers Malcom Floyd and Legedu Naanee coming back from injury.

Here are some notes from Coach Turner’s press conference today before they left out to Houston.

They know the offense. It’s not a limitation mentally. Obviously they’re not going to be able to do the things at the level of these other guys. – on Banks and Tutu

Turner says last week the Titans had a disadvantage because they didn’t know how the Chargers would approach it. Texans have film.

He’s just a sharp guy that’s becoming a good route-runner. I think he’s got a chance to be a good player someday. – on Seyi Ajirotutu

There will be a lot asked of both Gary Banks and Seyi Ajirotutu in this weekend’s game against the Houston Texans. Both players will see significant time on offense and will be up against the league’s last place pass defense. It will be up to them to carry the load with injuries to key players missing the game: Malcom Floyd, Vincent Jackson, Buster Davis, and possibly Antonio Gates.

There are a lot of fans that are on board the Tutu bandwagon already and I hope he doesn’t disappoint. I think that he will be a good player, but with seasoning. He will have to grow up real fast for us to get the win this Sunday!
