I'm sure Ron would love someone like him on the d-line, but is he truly realistic for us? I also found this interesting.

Garay is 32, and the Chargers are "optimistic they can retain (him) without breaking the bank." Garay may return on a low-cost, short-term deal, but he's obviously not a long-term solution. Backup Cam Thomas showed lots of promise as a situational run-stopper in 2011, and figures to see a bump in playing time. Feb 17 - 3:12 PM

We signed him last year. His name is Ron Edwards.

What those two brings to the table are more or less the same thing both on and off the field. I have no idea why people want him.

Garay can rush the passer better, plus him and Ron on the same line. :eek: Talk about a run defense.

Chargers NT Antonio Garay led all NFL defensive tackles in "pressure per snap" last season, according to Pro Football Focus.

Garay had been an under-utilized journeyman behind Jamal Williams going into last season. He quickly emerged as a penetrating run stopper and pass rusher, disruptive in all phases of the game in his first year as a starter. Garay graded out as PFF's No. 2 overall nose tackle despite playing just half the snaps of No. 1 Kyle Williams

if they don't draft a DT in the first couple rounds he will probably be a very real possibility....that is if the chargers don't re-sign him. problem is the chargers said they were going to clean house this offseason or at least weren't going to make a push to re-sign a lot of players.

oh...and not picking him or another DT up because of the group of DTs we have right now? ugh.

      He was so much fun to watch as a player but is a prototypical example of the old "never meet your heroes" adage. Great player, not a great guy.

      Does Bryce deserve credit for game-winning drives?

      By Basbear · Posted

      Look.... if us BY "haters" give credit about his GWDs...... Will the BY stans also have honest discussion about the 55minutes before the last 5 in which BY has put up 9/20 for 78 yards 0 TDs???

      Hubbard says he might have rushed back

      The way they are handling now is how they should have handled it from the start instead of that you get a series, you a get a series. Let Chuba spell until he had some of his step back.  We definitely could have put a better showing against Buffalo and their weak run defense had we employed the same game plan we did against Green Bay. Saints were determined to stop the run and make Bryce beat them, Atlanta had similar plan and the coaches and Bryce were able to respond.  Rico although didnt have the best rushing game was vital in the passing game and his catch and run help get us into the redzone there at the end of regulation probably should have been a touchdown that out of bounds was a judgement call it wasn't conclusive and thus should have went with the original call on the field.  Roco brings that dawg to the offense that it shorely lacked up until Miami game. Interesting it was his call that help seal the win for us, glad the coaches were listening. Hope they can get a deal done and run it back next year.
