  • Chargers Choose Rams Defensive Coordinator Brandon Staley For Head Coach Position

    Chargers Choose Rams Defensive Coordinator Brandon Staley For Head Coach Position

    The Chargers won’t have to pay much to move their new coach to Los Angeles. He’s already there. The team announced Sunday night it has agreed to terms to make Brandon Staley, who just finished his first season as defensive coordinator of the Rams, the 17th head coach in franchise history. NFL Network was first to report the news. Staley first interviewed for the job Jan. 10, following the Rams’ wild-card victory over Seattle. He was scheduled for a second interview Sunday, the day after the Rams had their season end with a 32-18 divisional-round loss at Green Bay.
    Staley, 38, will replace Anthony Lynn, who was fired Jan. 4 after four seasons, one playoff appearance and a 33-31 record. “It doesn’t matter if you’ve known Brandon for five minutes or five years, what quickly becomes apparent is the amount of energy and passion he approaches each and every moment with,” Chargers President of Football Operations John Spanos said in a statement.
    “The consistency of that enthusiasm is unique and, most importantly, it drives his ability to connect with people. His coaching journey to this particular moment is inspiring; if not for the sheer perseverance and determination of it all, then certainly for the dramatic results it has produced for the teams and players he has coached. I know it’s cliché but I know Brandon quite literally cannot wait to get to work.” After dismissing Lynn, General Manager Tom Telesco said he would be patient making this hire, suggesting that he could wait until after the Super Bowl if necessary.
    Under NFL guidelines, coaches cannot officially accept jobs with other teams until their previous season is concluded. “It’s not just that Brandon possesses a tremendous football mind that makes him the ideal head coach to lead our team forward,” said Telesco in the statement. “It’s that he excels in the ability to effectively tailor, apply and communicate his concepts to players. It’s clear that Brandon will not be out-worked, he’s the football equivalent of a gym rat, and that has earned him the universal respect of the players he has coached throughout his journey.”
    Said Staley: “It’s hard to put into words just how excited I am for the opportunity to be the Los Angeles Chargers’ head coach. While this is certainly a dream come true, it’s also a dream that’s just beginning.

    There’s a reason this was probably the most sought-after job out there — from ownership, to the fans, to the city, to the men in that locker room — it’s the total package. I can’t thank the Spanos family and Tom Telesco enough for placing their faith in us, and by the time everyone is reading this quote in a press release, we’ll already be hard at work developing a program Chargers fans everywhere can be proud of.” The Chargers also interviewed offensive coordinators Brian Daboll (Buffalo Bills), Jason Garrett (New York Giants) and Joe Brady (Carolina) and defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus (Indianapolis). Staley emerged quickly this season after joining the Rams a year ago in a move that was considered a bit of a surprise. He had spent the previous three seasons — two with Chicago and one with Denver — coaching outside linebackers. Before that, Staley worked for 11 years as a collegiate assistant. His stops included Northern Illinois, Division III St. Thomas, Hutchinson Community College, Tennessee, John Carroll and James Madison. He is a native of Perry, Ohio — about 35 miles east of Cleveland — who played quarterback at the University of Dayton. This season, he oversaw the NFL’s top-ranked defense, the Rams finishing No. 1 in points and yards allowed. They permitted only one opponent — the Bills and Daboll in Week 3 — to score more than 28 points in a game during the regular season. The Chargers struggled at times defensively in 2020. Defensive coordinator Gus Bradley has since departed to take the same job with Las Vegas. Linebackers coach Richard Smith and defensive backs coach Ron Milus will join Bradley with the Raiders.

    2019 Chargers Ready To Unload The Thunder! Get The Latest LACI Chargers News Via Twitter

    So here we are, year three of the Los Angeles Chargers. Clearly one of the better teams in the NFL, proven not only by the NFL Power rankings, but by clutch wins late in the season, the Chargers, are set up as the NFL front-runners to make even more noise this year, as the Bolts continue to add depth in all three areas, offense, defense and lets not forget special teams because the Chargers have one of the better special teams in the NFL (on paper). It should be a great ride. True Chargers fans would love to see the Bolts knock off the Patriots in the playoffs. Nothing would be better than some sweet revenge! This could very well happen! Payback is a (you know what)…

    If you are a very true Chargers fan, and you just want to see the Bolts succeed (regardless of the Spanos fiasco), you will definitely appreciate this Chargers roster, the 2019 Los Angeles Chargers are even better than last year. Real Chargers fans already know this and this article is not about explaining the depth this team has, it just not that kind of article. What we will explain is that true fans have somehow tuned out the the hatred of Spanos and are just keeping on the Bolt Pride plain and simple. Someday the Bolts should (and will) return to San Diego, but for now, its very hard not to keep your eye on the Los Angeles Chargers. This team is loaded!

    Happy New Years! And A Message To The Chargers Nation! Including: All San Diego Chargers Fans, Salty Fans, Ex Fans, Secret Chargers Fans, Etc.

    Happy New Year! from LACI.
    We hope you had a successful 2018 and wish you all the best for 2019.

    It must be pointed out officially by LACI, that Spanos really did screw up moving the Bolts to Los Angeles. Everyone knows it by now that the Chargers truly do belong in San Diego. As we enter 2019, we can only hope that the NFL has had enough bad press and decides to pull the plug on the Carson Chargers. Imagine how the city of San Diego would be reacting right about now with the Chargers finishing 12-4. Imagine all the bars and restaurants filled with Chargers fans all over San Diego County cheering for the Chargers. All of that is gone now, sucked out like a vacuum choking out the Chargers overall relevancy of a once proud franchise. It sure feels weird that if you admit to someone in San Diego that you still like the Chargers, they will sometimes react very bitterly towards you or the team itself. We all know there are a lot of San Diego fans that are still watching the Bolts with some doing so under the radar. Others have jumped back on the Chargers bandwagon at the last minute due to the teams 12-4 success this year. Many other San Diegans have simply moved on, making it fair to question their true loyalty to the team in the first place. Or is it fair to question another fans loyalty? Which raises another red flag: For example, Ex Chargers fans would say “How dare you question my loyalty to the Chargers” or “I supported the Chargers organization as a season ticket holder for over 40 years” These fans do have a legitimate gripe. How can anyone question their loyalty? It is their right to “move on”. It is their right not to support an LA team in general. The fans feel robbed. The fans feel cheated. Some even say “Screw LA” or “How can you even think of rooting for an LA franchise?” The whole thing is so retarded. Trying to sort it all out can be a pain in the ass. Like how do root for the San Diego Padres, then support one LA team (Chargers) but hate the other (Dodgers). Or what about this one: “Screw Spanos, I will never, ever go to LA to watch the Chargers.” That has become a reality for Spanos as very few fans have made the trip to LA on game day. As a matter of fact, most of the crowds at Stub Hub were so pathetic, it really embarrassed the league and Spanos. Even LT (Tomlinson) made a plea (begged) to San Diego to please come to LA and support the Chargers- via XX Sports leader Billy Ray Smith’s podcast. It has become a joke of sorts.

    What does all this mean? It is so sad that the Chargers moved to LA in the first place for basically greed, after all, Los Angeles never asked for the Chargers. The larger market share and a shiny new stadium was way more important to Spanos then the very proud and powerful San Diego Chargers fan base. That is the bottom line. Whether or not you still support the Chargers will not change the 2019 reality of San Diego’s once proud San Diego Super Chargers. The San Diego Super Chargers are a thing of the past. It almost rings hollow these days as it should. Never forget the loud and proud days at Jack Murphy Stadium, so loud and the seats shaking like crazy! Gone but not forgotten. Stay true to your beliefs. Stay true to San Diego. Because rooting for Los Angeles just doesn’t feel right, but rooting for the Chargers to win a Superbowl does feel right! Maybe not? Go figure and Go Chargers!

    I need a drink after all that! Cheers and Happy New Year 2019!

    GO CHARGERS!





  • Los Angeles Chargers At Seattle Seahawks Game Preview

    Los Angeles Chargers At Seattle Seahawks Game Preview

    The Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Chargers come into week nine both relatively healthy. The Seahawks had a chance to get right excluding their two studs lost for the season in safety Earl Thomas and tight end Will Dissly and the Chargers don’t come into the matchup with any new concerns but are monitoring two keys injuries that have plagued their 2018 season in Melvin Gordon and Joey Bosa — Bosa much more so than Gordon.

    The initial injury report for the Seahawks and Chargers features only 14 players total but nine players total who did not practice. None of them seem like too serious concerns, outside of Bosa, but the week will have to play out to know the full weight of the injury bug.

    The Seahawks had five key players returning from injury last week following their bye in tight end Ed Dickson, defensive ends Rasheem Green and Dion Jordan, tight end Nick Vannett and outside linebacker K.J. Wright; although Green ended up not playing again in week eight. They’ll have to see if he can make through the week this time around and how their returning injured players fare after a week of action.
    The Seahawks are now winners of four of their last five and return home to face the Los Angeles Chargers.

    Melvin Gordon is expected to play for the Chargers after missing the last two games with a hamstring injury. In his last game against the Browns on Oct. 14, he rushed for 132 yards and three TDs. Mr. Rivers should have a good day, he’s completing 69 percent of his passes with 17 TDs and only three interceptions and is on a pace to throw for 4,500 yards! The Seahawks’ secondary played well against Matthew Stafford last Sunday, proving it could hold up against one of the better quarterbacks in the league. The Seahawks rank No. 5 in the NFL in pass defense and No. 3 in opponent passer rating. Rivers better not hold the ball for too long.

    The Seahawks are 26th in the league in total offense, averaging 337 yards a game. The Chargers, without an injured Joey Bosa, have an average run defense at No. 16 in the league, allowing 106 yards a game.

  • NFL Owners Were ‘Miffed’ With Spanos For Moving Chargers

    NFL Owners Were ‘Miffed’ With Spanos For Moving Chargers

    In a new and entertaining book on the NFL, it’s reported that Dean Spanos surprised NFL power brokers when he chose to relocate his Chargers to greater Los Angeles; that Rams owner Stan Kroenke ignored Spanos for a week after the move was announced, and that club owners were “miffed” with Spanos for severing a 56-year relationship with San Diego despite having handed him an L.A. option.

    “We should have given him a puppy,” one AFC executive says.

    Spanos doesn’t come off as happy, either, in the early aftermath of the relocation,

    “Now I know how Art Modell feels,” he says of the detested late owner who moved the Browns to Baltimore.

    “Big Game, The NFL In Dangerous Times,” authored by New York Times Magazine writer and Patriots fan Mark Leibovich, devotes most of its 349 pages to other recent events and current topics, but Spanos gets a cream pie to the face from both Leibovich and the NFL power brokers he granted anonymity.

    “He is generally well liked by his partners around the league, but no one would mistake him for a visionary or even that significant of a force. He seemed to engender greater sympathy than respect from his fellow owners, as if he were a hapless little brother. ‘Dino,’ they call him,’ ” Leibovich writes.

    The spin that the anonymous NFL brokers put on Team Spanos’ relocation is that Spanos underachieved in attempts to get a San Diego stadium despite their noble efforts to empower him.

    His brethren gave Spanos first dibs to join Kroenke in his privately financed Inglewood palace, though not before he would have to spend a few years in a small soccer stadium in Carson. Along with dangling an extra $100 million in NFL money toward a San Diego project — the carrot — the League handed Spanos the L.A. option as leverage (the stick) to get a deal done in San Diego.

    Sympathy for Spanos, therefore, was in short supply when he invoked Modell.

    Owners “were miffed at him for turning what had appeared to be a somewhat elegant solution to the L.A. problem into a towering embarrassment,” Leibovich writes.

    The spin of NFL dismay with “Dino” is convenient and reported accurately, I believe, but it’s not altogether convincing.

    The NFL didn’t want the Raiders in Los Angeles yet gave Raiders owner Mark Davis the option to co-habitate with Kroenke if Spanos passed on going north. So when Spanos blocked the Raiders from going to L.A., the NFL lords had reason to celebrate, even if it’s also true that they regarded “Dino” as a lightweight and felt pangs of remorse about leaving San Diego.

    Kroenke wanted the Raiders as a co-tenant like he wanted a bad cold that never goes away. The Raiders, as the only Southern California franchise to win a Super Bowl, still have a strong following in L.A. Where the Chargers have no real footprint in L.A., the Raiders are real competition.

    Keeping the Raiders out of L.A. also directed their owner, Mark Davis, toward Las Vegas and $750 million in free money from the state of Nevada, an unprecedented subsidy even for the powerful NFL. San Diego, for good reason, wasn’t going to kick in anything like that money to build the NFL a stadium. And though the brethren gave him favorable terms on a payment schedule, Spanos fattened their wallets by opting for L.A. because he must pay a relocation fee of $650 million.

    Also, it strains logic to think the NFL expected Spanos to get a deal done in San Diego, even with the league’s help, such as it was. Houston Texans owner Bob McNair had ripped San Diego’s political leadership of the past several years, cherry-picking long-ago incidents of corruption at City Hall. Per Chargers stadium consultants Fred Maas and Mark Fabiani, when NFL officials attended a fruitless meeting in 2016 between the club and a coalition led by lame Mayor Kevin Faulconer, the NFL men pressed Faulconer and deemed him insincere about wanting to keep the team in San Diego.

    It’s interesting that Spanos felt so besieged he’d claim to feel as reviled as Modell.

    If he were to still feel that way, it adds some degree of weight to conjecture — which I’ve heard in NFL circles — that Spanos, with input from his three siblings, will sell the team within several years of the move into the Kroenke Dome on the grounds that the company’s value will have peaked. There’s also a theory that “Dino” will fall back in love with the NFL if the team can have a lot of success on the field. The Chargers as a team are loaded with talent. How they use that talent is another question. If you have a really fast sports car, you better damn well know how to drive it or you will surely spin out. It seems the Chargers may be experiencing just that. Plenty of power, but an inexperienced driver (head coach).

    The thing about Spanos is, he has already agreed to pay a $650 million relocation fee to the NFL. Sure he may get that money back if the franchise value soars, but he never offered that kind of money to The City of San Diego. I’m sure you have heard of the term creative financing,  Spanos could have easily offered that same $650 million to San Diego, then added another $250 million from the NFL, then raised $150 million more with corporate sponsorships etc. and you would have over $1 billion to build a beautiful new stadium in Mission Valley where it belongs. But what’s done is done. Your witnessing greed and selfishness big time Spanos style.

    The City of San Diego lost their Chargers because of a misguided owner and a lame City Hall. No vision. Spanos could have made money off the Aztecs year after year, not to mention other events like Soccer, Motocross, even Religious events and of course Concerts. Spanos would have been the majority owner of a money-making stadium right in the middle of America’s finest city. Imagine the revenue stream year after year. I can’t write anymore about this as I may have to puke. Now you know why it is called a Fight for L.A.

  • Meet the Chargers 53 Man Roster

    Meet the Chargers 53 Man Roster

    The Los Angeles Chargers have made the final adjustments to their 53 man roster and there is excitement brewing in Chargerland! The Bolts decided to go with an exciting (very fast) undrafted rookie wide receiver J.J. Jones out of West Georgia, who had a 72-yard punt return for a score in the second preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks. The 2018 Chargers face off with the Kansas City Chiefs this Sunday.

    Here’s a look at the Chargers Depth Chart:

    Quarterback (2): Philip Rivers, Geno Smith

    Smith gives the Chargers an athletic, reliable backup that can run the offense on the slim chance the durable Rivers suffers an injury. After waiving him earlier this week, the Chargers brought back Cardale Jones to the practice squad, where he can continue to develop for another season.

    Running back (3): Melvin Gordon, Austin Ekeler, Detrez Newsome

    Melvin Gordon will be counted on to serve as the workhorse in the backfield, but Ekeler was one of the top performers in training camp.

    Fullback (1): Derek Watt

    The Wisconsin product has evolved as a pass-catcher and improved as a run blocker.

    Wide receiver (6): Keenan Allen, Tyrell Williams, Travis Benjamin, Mike Williams, Geremy Davis, J.J. Jones.

    It’s tough to see Artavis Scott placed on the injured reserve for the season with a leg injury, but it opened the door for Jones, an undrafted rookie out of West Georgia who had a 72-yard punt return for a score in the second preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks.

    Tight end (3): Virgil Green, Antonio Gates, Sean Culkin

    The return of Gates in free agency provides an experienced pass-catcher at this position group that knows the offense, while Green adds physicality in the running game.

    Tackle (3): Russell Okung, Joe Barksdale, Sam Tevi

    Chargers gave up a league-low 18 sacks last season, led by bookend tackles in Okung and Barksdale. Tevi, a sixth-round selection in last year’s draft, is one of the Bolts’ most athletic lineman.

    Guard (3): Dan Feeney, Michael Schofield, Forrest Lamp

    Lamp saw his first action since suffering an ACL knee injury in training camp last year in the final preseason game against the San Francisco 49ers, and appeared to get through the game healthy. Schofield remains the starter at right guard for now, but could get pushed for time by Lamp. However, Schofield also provides versatility as a swing tackle.

    Center (3): Mike Pouncey, Scott Quessenberry, Cole Toner

    The Chargers believe the addition of Pouncey will help them run the football more effectively and provide more leadership to a young offensive line room.

    Defensive line (9): Joey Bosa, Melvin Ingram, Brandon Mebane, Darius Philon, Damion Square, Justin Jones, Chris Landrum, Isaac Rochell, T.Y. McGill

    Starting defensive tackle Corey Liuget will begin the season on the suspended list due to a violation of the league’s policy on performance-enhancing drugs, so the Chargers have little depth at this position.

    Inside linebacker (3): Denzel Perryman, Nick Dzubnar, Emmanuel Ellerbee

    Perryman is one of the team’s best run defenders and a leader on defense. The Chargers are hopeful the Miami product can play a full, 16-game season for the first time in his four-year pro career. Dzubnar remains the team’s best special teams player.

    Outside linebacker (4): Uchenna Nwosu, Kyzir White, Jatavis Brown, Kyle Emanuel

    The Chargers are much more athletic at this position group with the addition of Nwosu and White through the draft. Emanuel can play both inside and outside linebacker.

    Cornerback (6): Casey Hayward, Trevor Williams, Michael Davis, Desmond King, Craig Mager, Brandon Facyson

    Besides receiver, cornerback is one of the deepest position groups on the roster. King, who will serve as the team’s slot defender in passing situations, also can play safety.

    Safety (4): Jahleel Addae, Derwin James Jr., Rayshawn Jenkins, Adrian Phillips

    Chargers defensive coordinator Gus Bradley is excited about the versatility and playmaking ability James brings to his defense. Phillips also is a versatile performer.

    Specialists (3): Donnie Jones (P), Caleb Sturgis (K), Mike Windt (LS)

    Punter Donnie Jones, 38, originally announced his retirement from the Eagles in February, but later decided he wanted to continue his lengthy NFL career. Philadelphia then released him from the reserve/retired list, giving Jones the opportunity to find another team. Jones, who hadn’t garnered any other known free agent interest, was solid in 2017, ranking 15th in yards per punt average and 16th in net average. He also placed 35.1 percent of his punts inside of the 20-yard line. won a training camp kicking battle with Roberto Aguayo, proving that he’s fully healthy after missing most of last season with a hip issue. In 62 career games over five seasons with the Miami Dolphins and Eagles, Sturgis converted 81 percent of his field goals with a career-long of 55.

    Los Angeles Chargers Announce 2018 Training Camp Schedule
