Good morning and afternoon, StormCloud!
The Chargers have another opportunity to put the "Chargering" moniker to bed as they prepare to face the Tennessee Titans.
The Titans, like the Chargers, are in the first year of a coaching and cultural change. They let the focal point of their offense, and arguably their entire team, depart in free agency to sign with the Baltimore Ravens. Although Tony Pollard has done an admirable job replacing Derrick Henry as the team's lead back, Henry and former head coach Mike Vrabel set a punishing power football tone that Tennessee has pivoted from since Brian Callahan's hire.
Callahan attempted to recreate the magic of Cincinnati's aerial attack by signing Calvin Ridley in free agency and hoping he and DeAndre Hopkins could create a prolific tandem to help aid Will Levis' development. That hope dissipated before the trade deadline, and Hopkins was shipped to the Chiefs for a conditional 4th round pick.
While the Chargers shift from a finesse team to a defensive-led, old-school mentality, the Titans are taking the opposite approach. A Mike Vrabel team would have challenged this unit in physicality, similar to how the Steelers almost seemed to take it personally that Jim Harbaugh's Chargers were attempted to beat them at their own game, and brought their very best when facing the Bolts in Week 3. However, this Titans team is in transition and gives the Chargers and excellent opportunity to continue stacking wins before facing a four-week gauntlet of playoff-caliber teams.
Here is the latest injury report from both teams. L'Jarius Sneed will be "OUT" for the Titans, with Dillon Radnuz and Julius Chestnut listed as questionable. The Chargers don't have any players officially declared "OUT" as of yet, but it's important to note that Kristian Fulton, Khalil Mack, and Trey Pipkins all missed practice on Friday.
Be sure to bring your thoughts and comments to the discussion below, StormCloud!
I hope Mack can go, especially since the china doll outta Florida is still on a pitch count.
OK, let's go Chargers!
Damn, look at Gus! Welcome sight from him.
Damn. Get the seven! On the plus side, Salyer looks good at RG.
Sure woulda liked 6 there. 🫤
OK, D....let's do this!!
