Los Angeles Chargers Daily Links: Can Justin Jones Be a Pro
Bowler? Chargers CB Trevor Williams injures
ankle
Joey
Bosa Jersey , is helped off - Eric Williams"He'll bounce back," defensive
tackle Brandon Mebane said. "It sucks, but it's part of the game. Sometimes
you're going to have guys go down, and you have to have other guys step
up."Trevor's a great professional, and you know he's going to do whatever he can
to get right back on the field. We're just going to wait on him and be
patient."Why Justin Jones is Loaded with Pro Bowl Potential - Ricky Henne¡°Justin
Jones is a great player,¡± he declared. ¡°He's one of those guys that I've seen in
my 12 years (where) I think he's going to have a great future ahead of him. I
think, eventually, he's going to be a Pro Bowler. He's way ahead of the curve
when it comes to football IQ and his technique. The best thing I like about him
is he can only keep climbing (and) keep going up. (We have) a great defensive
line coach in Giff (Smith). Having all of those things line up, the sky is the
limit for him."Is Melvin Gordon a top 5 running back? - Jason GilderTo say
Gordon¡¯s rookie season was ugly is an understatement; it was downright dreadful.
The 2015 campaign saw Gordon rush for 641 yards on 184 carries in 14 games
played.

Chargers are set to end the 2018 regular season this Sunday with their final
divisional match-up against the Denver Broncos.If you are anything like me, you
have had this match-up circled in red ever since their last contest was dropped
in week 11. That contest was at home and the Chargers were currently on a
six-game win-streak before self-imploding in front of the home crowd.It left
quite a bad taste in my mouth, more so than any of the other four losses this
season simply because of the way the team lost it. On Sunday evening, they have
a chance to rid the themselves of that lingering cloud prior to their first
playoff game in over five years.Without futher ado, here are the three bigget
things I¡¯ll be keeping an eye on one the Chargers take the field at Mile
High.1.) With Phillip Lindsay on IR, how will the Bolts run defense bounce
back?Lindsay became just the third undrafted free agent running back ever to
rush for over 1,000 yards in hist first season en route to a Pro Bowl nod.
Unfortunately for the former-Colorado
Buffalo
Youth
Darius Philon Jersey , Lindsay suffered a wrist injury against the Oakland
Raiders this past week and was placed on IR, effectively ending his historic
season one game from the finish line.Lindsay finished his rookie campaign with
192 carries for 1,037 yards and nine rushing touchdowns. He added an extra 241
yards through the air on 35 catches with another touchdown, bringing his score
total into the double-digits.In his place, 2018 third-round pick Royce Freeman
will get the call as the Bronco¡¯s starter heading into Sunday evening. Following
the draft, Freeman was pegged by most pundits to be Denver¡¯s starter out of
training camp but close to no one saw Lindsay¡¯s rise to prominence coming in the
slightest.In his limited action, Freeman has accrued 461 rushing yards on 113
carries to go along with five touchdowns. He has seldom been used in the passing
game as he has just six catches for 29 yards to his name.After last week¡¯s
performance against the Baltimore Ravens, the Bolts¡¯ run defense needs to use
this game as a confidence booster heading into the playoffs after being pushed
around from whistle to whistle by Lamar Jackson and company.2.) Broncos pass
rush will be the final tune-up before the playoffsJust like clockwork, Von
Miller is having another All-Pro season for the Broncos. It also doesn¡¯t help
opposing offenses that he has another elite-level pass rusher on the other side
on the line in rookie Bradley Chubb.The first-year player out of North Carolina
State has 12 sacks on the
season
http://www.chargersauthorizedshops.com/authentic-isaac-roche ll-jersey ,
just 2.5 shy of tying Jevon Kearse¡¯s rookie record of 14.5. He also has two
forced fumbles, a fumble recovery, and 13 tackles-for-loss to his name among his
56 total tackles.Miller¡¯s stat line is fairly similar to Chubb¡¯s, albeit a bit
heavier where you¡¯d expect it. His 14.5 sacks are tied with the Vikings¡¯
Danielle Hunter for 3rd-most in the NFL behind only the Chiefs¡¯ Chris Jones
(15.5) and the Rams¡¯ Aaron Donald (19.5).Miller has also forced four fumbles
while recovering two. He has an interception (thanks to Rivers during their last
match-up) and 14 tackles-for-loss among his 45 total tackles.Fans were likely
worried about Russell Okung¡¯s availability for this Sunday after posting
back-to-back limited practices earlier this week but the captain was a full
participant during Friday¡¯s run-through and looks ready to rock this weekend.3.)
Can Rivers rebound after a pair of two-interception performances?It took until
the team¡¯s week 11 match-up against the Broncos for Rivers to have his first
multi-interception game of the season. That unfortunate performance was only
compounded by the plethora of penalties and other unfortunate events that led to
the team¡¯s inevitable loss that week.In his last two weeks, Rivers has thrown
just two touchdowns (both coming against the Chiefs) to four interceptions. his
181 passing yards last week were a season-low, as well.Up until last week,
Rivers was in the thick of the MVP-race. Not because his stats matched-up well
with the likes of Drew Brees and Patrick Mahomes, but because of the late
victories he was able to rally his team to no matter how stacked the deck was
against this team.As my fellow BFTB writer Jamie Hoyle states in the above
tweet, Rivers may have a horrendous stat line over the last two
weeks
Denzel
Perryman Jersey , but there¡¯s still a silver-lining that should relax fans
a bit before the games REALLY matter. He is correct that two of Rivers¡¯ picks
were underthrown passes to receivers that had a step or two on their defenders.
But why were the balls underthrown in the first place? Well, there was interior
pressure allowed by Dan Feeney on both plays that forced Rivers to have to
launch it off his back foot as he drifted away from the threat.As for his other
two turnovers, one was actualyl a poor decision and the other was a desperate
heave to (blegghh) Travis Benjamin in the end zone towards the end of the
Baltimore game. This play made me physically ill as it looked like half of
River¡¯s interceptions over the 2015 and ¡®16 season when he would try to play
¡°hero ball¡± when his team let him down over and over again.It hasn¡¯t been
pretty, but they still pulled out that game in Kansas City before dropping a
¡°not-so-surprising¡± loss to the Ravens, a team built to beat a team such as the
Chargers.In that game against the Bronocs, even with the two picks, Rivers still
managed to top 400 yards passing for just the second time all season. That means
this Broncos secondary can be exploited and I wouldn¡¯t be surprised to see
another spectacular game for number 17 when it¡¯s all said and
done.
