Los Angeles Chargers vs. New Orleans Saints from 黄剑's blog

 Open Thread The Los Angeles Chargers tonight play host to the New Orleans Saints. We should expect extended looks from the Chargers projected starters including second-year offensive lineman Forrest Lamp who will see his first action of the preseason. Philip Rivers has looked very sharp thus far and one would hope he will continue his impressive play Youth Michael Schofield Jersey , but most importantly we will hope he stays completely healthy.Mike Williams has shown us all why the Chargers spent a high draft pick on him last year and it will be exciting to watch him again as he tries to carry that momentum through this week and onto the regular season. The competition at running back behind Melvin Gordon has been worth watching and should continue to be tonight.On defense, we get to see rookie Justin Jones take the field and without Darius Philon suited up he should get a lot of playing time to shake off the rust and prove that he belongs.Overall, the defense is in for a serious test against the Saints offense and they’ll be without their top corners, so it could be a struggle.Caleb Sturgis has won the kicking competition Color Rush Mike Williams Jersey , Chargers release Roberto Aguayo The Los Angeles Chargers have had an ongoing battle for the Kicker position all offseason after adding Caleb Sturgis on a two year deal and Roberto Aguayo on a one year contract. It would appear that decision has now been made.Roberto Aguayo, a former second round selection of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 2016 NFL Draft, performed quite well with the Chargers over the course of the competition. Through four preseason games, he went a perfect three for three in field goals (Sturgis went two for three Color Rush Melvin Ingram Jersey , for reference) and also did not miss an extra point. In the practice session I attended, he closed the day out going eight for nine, with the only miss being a 53 yard attempt that he hit on his second try. This was the fourth team Aguayo has had a chance with, though it may not be his last. When you consider how he was with the Buccaneers http://www.authenticlosangeleschargers.com/cheap-joe-barksdale-jersey , it would appear he has come a long way in fixing whatever issues he was having. He clearly has the talent to be a successful NFL kicker, he has shown as much and it’s not exactly every year that a kicker gets selected in the second round. Caleb Sturgis, the kicker the Chargers have decided to enter the season with, was signed to a two year contract worth 4.45 million dollars. This quote from Anthony Lynn after the week four contest against the San Francisco 49ers shows that the team anticipated this to be the eventual outcome of the battle...I think I speak for everyone when I say that I hope this kicking decision goes better than the last one this team made entering the 2017 season.
