Los Angeles Chargers Daily Links:The factors that help determine teams' pace of play - Scott SprattThe reality is that snap pace is a complex issue Womens Michael Schofield Jersey , and it’s very difficult to decouple one actor’s influence from another’s. In recent seasons, quarterbacks, head coaches, and offensive teams themselves have each produced very similar year-to-year correlations in their total of plays per game, between 0.43 and 0.47. Even defensive teams exert some influence over pace of play, showing a year-to-year correlation strength of 0.28.Who is the top cornerback in the NFL? - Sam MonsonHe won’t be the first name on most people’s lips, but Casey Hayward may have the best case of any corner to be known as the top cornerback in the game. Last season, his overall PFF grade wasn’t just the highest in the league, it was the second-highest overall grade we have ever seen from a corner, trailing only that otherworldly Revis season of 2009.The candidates to be 2018's No. 1 fantasy running back - Dan ClasgensAs long as Gordon continues to see little competition for carries his value remains high. He averaged just 3.9 yards per carry last year, but his volume was high as he registered 284 rushing attempts and caught 58 balls. His scoring trend is what has put him in RB1 range the past two years though. After not scoring a single time as a rookie, Gordon has now scored 12 times in each of his past two seasons.Chargers WR Mike Williams showing explosiveness at OTAs - Eric Williams"I see a lot of potential," said receiver Keenan Allen, when asked about Williams. "Last year, he had a lot of potential as well Authentic Keenan Allen Jersey , but I could tell he put in a little bit more work this offseason. I think he's ready to go.Chargers' Joey Bosa has some issues with Star Wars - Eric WilliamsBut football isn't the only thing Bosa cares about. He's also a big Star Wars fan and with "Solo: A Star Wars Story" opening on May 25, he talked about that passion, among other things, before the inaugural Los Angeles Chargers Invitational at Riviera Country Club this week.Social Media Information:BFTB Facebook Page: Click here to like our pageBFTB Twitter: Follow @BFTB_ChargersThe Lightning Round Twitter: Follow @Lightning_RoundThe Lightning Round Facebook: Click here to like our pageBFTB Manager: Richard Wade: Follow @RichardWade Ten years after their first trip to London, Los Angeles Chargers veterans Phillip Rivers and Antonio Gates are keen to see how much the British audience has learned about the American version of football.Rivers and Gates took part in the second regular-season game played at Wembley back in 2008, when the NFL was still a bit of a curiosity and large parts of the crowd didn't quite understand the sport."I remember like if it was yesterday," Gates said. "The ball would be punted in the air and the crowd would be making noise. We were like, 'what are you making noise about?' But it was just their way. They're used to watching soccer, and the chants and things of that nature. It was foreign to us, just like we were foreign to them."And now I think over the years, they've learned to grasp a little bit more a better concept of the game of American football. Most people understand it now here."That was the goal behind the NFL's decision to stage annual games in London — to grow the interest and understanding of the game overseas. When the Chargers (4-2) host the Tennessee Titans (3-3) at Wembley on Sunday, it will be the 23rd game played in London since 2007."I'm interested to see again the atmosphere in the stadium," Rivers said. "Last week, I hear it was an unbelievable crowd for Oakland and Seattle. I remember there being a great crowd 10 years. I just remember so many different jerseys from so many different teams represented. The energy was in there. A long pass, or a ball getting kicked Womens Virgil Green Jersey , all those things got the crowd going pretty good."The Chargers arrived in London on Friday morning after spending the week in Cleveland following a win over the Browns, a move aimed to shorten the trip and make it easier to adjust to the time difference.It also helped the players bond while spending that time together, coach Anthony Lynn said."We did have a team-building activity and 100 percent participation. And I thought the guys liked it a lot," Lynn said. "I left it up to my sports psychologists. The coaches get the hell out of the room and let the players talk and do their own thing. But everyone says it went really well."The shorter flight didn't completely help Rivers stave off the jet lag."Today was one of those days where I don't think anything could help. It got to the point where that third, fourth cup of coffee wasn't working at all," the quarterback said after finishing a training session in North London at 8 a.m. California time. "But it's not bad. I think if we can push through and get to 8, 9 o'clock tonight, we should be OK."Running back Melvin Gordon was limited in the practice session, but Lynn said it was mainly a precaution after the long trip."He was just sore. Long plane ride. Probably didn't drink enough water," Lynn said. "We were being extra cautious with him."For those European fans who have really studied the game since the Chargers' last visit, Rivers did have some disappointing news. The Alabama native won't be wearing his famous bolo tie after the game, although he does plan on sporting his traditional cowboy boots."I did not bring the bolo tie. I've got the cowboy boots," Rivers said. "I always make sure to have those with me on game day. The same boots I probably wore here in 2008, I've had them for that long. They're almost like slippers now."
