| 2018 AFC West Preview | Los Angeles Chargers - Lance SandersonThe Chargers wound up getting a solid haul during the 2018 NFL Draft highlighted by snatching up a top-10 level talent in S Derwin James at pick 17. A perfect scheme fit for defensive coordinator Gus Bradley Los Angeles Chargers T-Shirt , James figures to fill a huge void that was left when the Chargers allowed perennial Pro Bowl S Eric Weddle to depart in free agency a couple of seasons ago.The NFL's best under-25 starting lineup: Our picks, runners-up - Field YatesBosa, 23, drew pre-draft comparisons to J.J. Watt, an almost unfair parallel for any player to face. And yet, he has been a dominant force with some shades of Watt in terms of next-level power and acceleration.AFC West Q&A: Who will win the division? - ESPN.com staffThe Chargers likely will open training camp as the division's most complete team. If quarterback Philip Rivers does his usual Philip Rivers things and the team's defense performs at least to last season's level (No. 3 in scoring defense and tied for No. 5 in sacks), they are poised for their first division title since 2009Top NFL WRs on out routes - Mark ChichesterAt the close of the 2017 season, no wide receiver had amassed more receiving yards from out routes than Allen, who tallied 311 yards from his 18 receptions. 13 of those receptions resulted in a first down, which was tied with Texans receiver Deandre Hopkins for the most in the NFL and his average of 17.3 yards per reception on those out routes not only paced the league, but was the fourth-best mark ever recorded by PFF.NFL pass-rush rankings: All 32 team's entering 2018 - Gordon McGuinnessWere we looking purely at pressure off the edge, the Chargers would certainly be number one. The combination of Bosa and Ingram at either defensive end position is deadly, and the Chargers saw 151 of their total pressures come from the duo. They were the only team in the NFL to feature two edge defenders who finished the 2017 season with an elite (90.0-plus) PFF grade, and there’s no reason to expect them to slow down much in 2018. The bonus in 2017 was Liuget producing the best year of his career, adding 26 total pressures from the defensive interior.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 @RichardWadeTwas the night before football ‘Twas the night before football, when all through the campNot a player was stirring, excepting Forrest Lamp.The jerseys were hung in the lockers with care Los Angeles Chargers Hats ,in hopes that a trophy would soon comfort them there.The coaches still plotted the X’s and O’s,in hopes Kansas City would succumb to all those.The linemen all slumbered snug in their beds,unaware of the plotting of a certain Big Red.When out in the kitchen there arose such a clatter,even beat writers gasped when they saw the whole matter.When what to their wondering eyes should appear,but a coach with a mustache, and microphone gear.When Hayward woke up, he charged the great scene,but the man in red did not appear quite so mean.“What do you mean, waking us up in the night??”Asked a drowsy Mike Pouncey, eager to fight.“Let’s hear him out,” Coach Lynn enunciated,but the gathering crowd was getting quite agitated.“Where’s Rivers? He’s never once stayed quite this mute.”But their quarterback was only half through his commute.“Now don’t be hasty, I’ve come here in kindness!”Said the portly figure, though patience was minus.“We’ve been best of foes, to that I will toast,and one of us will surely be ruling the coast.”“I’ve heard enough!” Melvin Gordon exclaimed,“You’ve run out your clock Los Angeles Chargers Hoodie , and your outfit is lame.”“Now don’t be rude!” Geno Smith shouted back.Then shielded his chin, in case of attack.“Now, as I was saying, yes, tomorrow we duel.”Said the jolly red man, though he seemed quite the fool.“But I’ve a gift for your team, believe me I do;this was my last stop on my way through.”“After speaking with all of the Raiders’ top brass,I convinced them to go with Gruden’s hot @**!And Mack? LOL! Enough of his play,so I called the Bears, and poof, now he’s gone away!”“I see you still doubt my eternal good will,perhaps the Broncos will help seal the deal.I’m afraid I played a bit of a Grinch,when I scared them into passing any return on Lynch.”The players all stood there, with shock in their eyes,what nefarious deed might be their surprise?“But fear not, I only act as an agent of parity!”The Jolly red man was coming to clarity.“As the cream of the crop, I had to make a maneuver Youth Customized Los Angeles Chargers Jerseys ,so I traded away Smith, that game managing loser.It was faith, I believe, and again it came true,that the Chargers would do the things that they do.”“So I came wishing luck to you and your team,because all of these changes aren’t quite as extreme.As losing Henry, and Bosa, and all south of L-A,And always being snakebitten, regardless of play.”And he sprang down the hall, before they knew what think,and deeper the man’s words began now to sink.If overcoming odds is what keeps the game fair,It’s time to beat the hurdles that come with the cool of fall air.-Jason “Unseasonably Festive” Michaels
