The chargers have a better shot at beating the patriots this year. I am not sure what changes the chargers have made but their offense is always going to be good. The patriots had a huge loss in their secondary with Asante Samuel. The pats defense is aging too (their team in general)...I would think the chargers offense would match up quite well to their defense but I guess one could say the same for the Pats as well.
The offense will definitely be improved. Chambers will have a whole training camp under his belt compared to coming in at the middle of the season last year. Jackson showed at the end of the season that he can be a go-to receiver. Buster Davis should make some plays if he can stay healthy. We also added Devon Hester for another running threat.
The defense should be better also. Although I seriously doubt Cromartie can match his INT total from last season, he'll be better. Antoine Cason is in camp and looking good. But Jyles Tucker and Brandon Siler have been impressing the coaches with their improvements this year. Shawne and Shaun should dominate on the outside, as usual. Weddle should be able to improve on his outstanding rookie season. Hopefully Jamal Williams can stay healthy. That guy is an absolute
BEAST up front. But this is his 11th season, and his knees aren't getting any younger.
If the Bolts live up to their potential this year, they should absolutely
CRUSH other teams. I honestly believe we'll have the AFC West locked up by the 13th game of the season.
Here's a shot from training camp. Man, I can't wait!!!!!
