Definitely the biggest injury so far. Unfortunate, but we can only hope it doesn't happen to our guys.

 

Question though: If you were Ballard, would you offer Swoope to the Chargers for a 5th round pick and see if they bite now? Their starter at TE is now Virgil Green.

I doubt they would bite on that.  

 

Also as pointed out, they could also try and get Gates to come back for one more season.

I'd be surprised if Gates came back. If he did, he'd be a shell of himself and it'd be for sentimental reasons more than anything. I'm giving the Chargers the benefit of the doubt for now that they aren't that dumb.

 

They could bite on that, I think it's about all we could offer, but I'd love if Ballard took a shot like that to add another draft pick for 2019.

It looks like the Chargers might be open to bringing Antonio Gates back.

Sad....its that time of year for this stuff....but yes I would expect Gates back. I wouldn't blame them for being interested in a young guy though...that's an old TE group.

And it begins..

 

ACL injuries, unfortunately, yes.  From monitoring previous years, I expect up to 20-25 more of these in the league by the end of training camp.  Certainly distressing, but likely a fairly accurate projection .I hope none of our top 53 suffer one.

 

BTW - people here often complain about the number of Colts injuries, but it seems to me the Chargers get bit even harder most years.

I read it was around 30 ACL tears before the season starts on average. So about 1 per team on average. That won't be perfectly even though, so the Chargers theoretically could get a couple more ACL tears as well, or another team could easily get multiple ACL injuries as well. It's a bad luck injury as most are non contact. Just have to hope for the best.

I went and looked it up, here you go -

 

 

We've only reached 30 one time recently, 2013.  Interesting numbers... pre season vs. the regular season, yet about 50% of the ACL injuries.  Larger rosters, less games.... similar numbers.

      Colts have the 15th pick in the draft. (MERGE)

      Not really.   There's a theory that Ballard wants to draft an OL high because he said it's important to protect the QB, and Richardson was hurt last year. And the counter was that Richardson's injury/s probably aren't about the level of OL protection, and drafting an OL high wouldn't address that concern.

      I'm thinking if we can trade to 8 or 9 and draft Odunze , we should do it if the price is reasonable. The value chart shows giving up P 15 and P 46 is the perfect number. Probably won't do it and I would think 2025 2nd for a 2024 4th added to the deal would make it work . That of coarse would depend on Atlanta or Chicago wanting to move to 15 . Obviously , as we all know , it takes 2 to make a trade.

      I can too. And that will tell us everything we need to know about how the view him. It will tell us their feelings on the tight end room, and what direction they pick from there will tell us even more.    but if they take him at 15, we won’t know much about what might have happened, as they will be landing someone they had rated highly and fell to them.

      Glad that’s over…    if I wanted to argue about it, I would have responded far more in depth than pointing out how you were attempting to gaslight me. I did not. Meaning I was ending my part of whatever the argument was. You “putting a finality to it” and then listing bullet points tells me it was the argument you wanted all along, which makes sense why you brought Grigson up in the first place. Bait, hook, gaslight. Almost got me buddy. You are a funny guy, Doug

      Putting a finality on an argument you want to have.   There is a theory that Ballard won't draft a OL high because ARs injuries were not caused by a poor oline.  I felt it important to note that since Luck's major injuries were also not caused by his oline, Ballard could still want to improve it like he did in 2018 simply because AR is The Franchise. And its important to point that out because there has been a running (false) narrative for about 9 years that Luck's oline was the (main) reason for his injuries that kept him out of games.  The (false) narrative is based upon, IMO, a detest of Grigson, and not reality about the facts (or strong rumors) behind the kidney laceration and snowboarding shoulder. Therefore, mentioning Grigson and the (false) narrative was germain to the point about Ballard possibly drafting Oline high this draft to protect AR. Mentioning Grigson shouldn't trigger a CB vs RG discussion, unless people reading it are gaslighted by their own reading lens.
