Bolts Year!!!

AJ Smith a resigné Jamal Williams pour une extension de 5 ans, c'était la meilleure chose à faire pour garder la 3ieme defense de la ligue...

Darren Sproles fait des merveilles au mini camp et devrait faire parler de lui rapidement dans la saison sur equipes spéciales.

Seul ombre au tableau, la lenteur qu'ont les chargers à faire signer un gros contrat à Gates.....

3ème meilleure défense de la League ?

Pas du tout.
Ils sont pour moi, dans les airs la 2ème pire défense avec 253 yards pris sur la tete par match. (l'honneur est sauf : les Chiefs sont derniers).
Ils sont aussi 28èmes pour avoir encaissé le plus de réceptions de plus de 20 yards, et avec Moss dans les parages, y'a du souci à se faire (là encore, les Chiefs sont bien pires).

Pas du tout.

3° meilleure défense contre la course.
Tu vas me dire, ça veut rien dire, comme ils sont nuls contre la passe, ils se font allumer dans les airs. Les adversaires preferent passer contre les Chargers, d'ou le classement en défense au sol.
Sauf que...la stat la plus importante en défense reste les points encaissés et dans ce domaine les Chargers n'ont pas été mauvais en 2004:
- 11° NFL avec 19,6 points encaissés. pas si loin du premier Pittsburgh: 15,7 points mais loin des derniers: 49ers: 28,2

Je proteste, votre honneur! Dans les 28,2pts encaissés par match, y'en a une bonne partie à mettre au crédit (sic) des défenseurs adverses

Que nenni !
Objection rejetée !

L'équipe qui a le plus subi ce phénomène est Miami avec 8 INT
retrournées pour des TDs.

Pour San Francisco: 4 soit le meme nombre que Tampa qui a finit la saison à 19pts encaissés en moyenne. Pittsburgh, meilleure défense scoring finit avec 3INT retrournées pour des TDs.
Allez pour te faire plaisir, c'est vrai que les Niners ont aussi encaissé un TD sur fumble perdu.

Les autres TDs encaissés par SF:
- sol: 22TDs. vous etes les plus mauvais dans le domaine (Best: Houston avec 4)
- passe: 27TDs. vous etiez dans le top10 (en partant du bas). (Best team: Pittsburgh 14)

Double C a écrit:

Seulement 5 TDs sur turnover? Ils ont tellement paumé de ballon que je pensais que c'était bien plus... mes confuses.

Oui enfin c'est à nuancer quand même pcq à mon avis, ces mauvaises stats défensives sont aussi en partie liées à ce à quoi tu fais allusion (TO de l'attaque)
Les niners ont perdu 40 ballons (21INT - 19FMBL - 3° pire de la ligue). Certes, seuls 5 de ses ballons ont été retrounés pour des TDs mais j'imagine qu'une bonne partie a du être retournée dans le camp des niners mettant l'attaque adverse en bonne position pour marquer.
ce qui a provoqué des TDs des attaques adverses et ceci a pour conséquence l'augmentation des stats que j'ai cité ci-dessous (TDs encaissés par la défense des niners)

... OU PAS

non non continuez, comme ça j'ai l'impression que les chargers interessent du monde.....

Sinon toutes mes confuses, je voulais dire 3ieme defense contre la course....(Pas si mal sur le nombre de points encaissés n'est ce pas?...!)

Pour ce qui est de Moss, certes il est dangereux mais pour cela il faut que la balle soit dans les airs et avec Kerry "the Alkaholick" Collins j'en doute.....

On sait jamais si cette année ca se passait mal, on aura déjà cette excuse:

Schedule means rising Chargers facing tough road ahead

The San Diego Chargers have the talent to repeat in the AFC West, but there's something about this team that disturbs me -- and it has nothing to do with Drew Brees looking over his shoulder at Philip Rivers.

No, the problem is the road. There aren't just speed bumps ahead; there are potential sinkholes.

Look at the club's schedule, and you find five games in the Eastern Time Zone -- including a Dec. 18 date with Indianapolis, which never deviates from Eastern Standard Time. Traveling three time zones is hard enough -- NFL clubs were a combined 13-18 doing it last year -- but look at how the Chargers must do it this season.

At New England. At Philadelphia. At the New York Jets. At Indianapolis. And at Washington.

OK, so Washington's a potential breather. Look at what's left. There are four playoff teams with a combined record of 49-15, including the Super Bowl finalists. Now let's look at their home records: New England was unbeaten, Philadelphia and Indianapolis lost once each and the Jets twice.

That's a 28-4 record -- 32-4, if you include the playoffs -- and it could be a problem for the Chargers.

Sure, it can be overcome. The San Francisco 49ers won 19 straight road games from 1988 through 1990, but they had Joe Montana, Ronnie Lott and Jerry Rice. The Chargers lost only three road games a year ago, but compare that to their 7-1 record at home and you can see why this could become an issue.

"In a perfect world I'd play 16 games at home," said San Diego coach Marty Schottenheimer. "And not just for the benefit of not traveling; but for the benefit of the support of your fans. But when the schedule first comes out I look for how the games fall; where the bye week is and if there are any back-to-back road trips.

"A year ago, the Carolina-Atlanta thing was a monster (the Chargers traveled to each in consecutive weekends), and we went 1-1. So it all comes down to understanding that the schedule is what it is, and you're wasting your time worrying about it."

Maybe he won't worry, but we will. And so should the Oakland Raiders, one of San Diego's AFC West rivals. They not only have four games in the Eastern time zone, but two of them occur in the first three weekends -- against New England and Philadelphia.

That's the bad news. The good is that the Raiders don't make another East Coast swing until Nov. 20 when they play Washington and follow their Sept. 25 date at Philadelphia with four straight weekends at home -- including an Oct. 2 bye.

The Chargers catch no such breaks. They have two eastern games in October, two in November and one in December -- followed the next weekend by a game in Kansas City.

It's uncharted territory for the division champs, and it's one reason to wonder if they succumb to gravity. The Chargers never played five eastern games in one year, though as members of the AFL they were forced to play at Buffalo, Boston (Patriots) and New York three successive weekends for six consecutive years .

They were 9-6-3.

That's not only acceptable; it's respectable. So is this: Since the NFL-AFL merger the Chargers played four eastern road games in one year six times, with an 11-12-1 record to show for it.

Now look what happened to Schottenheimer's club last season. Its most impressive game down the stretch was not its win at home over Denver but its loss on the road to Indianapolis. The Chargers were supposed to get drilled, yet they dominated a formidable opponent -- leading 24-9 -- and would've won if their special teams hadn't self-destructed in the second half.

They lost by a field goal in overtime.

"There's no doubt this is tough," Schottenheimer said of this year's schedule, "but think about it this way: Find your way into the playoffs having beaten a few of those teams on the road, and you're going to have a very positive sense about yourself going into the competition -- even if you have to travel."

J'aime bien la photo qui accompagne cet article



Star ou pas star Marty ne baissera jamais son froc.

Gates a signé pour 6 ans....En voilà une bonne chose de faite....

Gagner 41 - 17 , c'est bien mais battre les Pats, c'est encore mieux....

Leur offense soporifique à base de screen, bubble et quick out pass n'a pas vaincu et c'est tant mieux....
Et chose étonnante le backfield défense des Chargers n'a pas laché....

L'avenir est brillant pour les Chargers!!

Tout le monde se fout des Chargers et c'est normal mais quand j'ai dit l'avenir des Chargers est brillant et dégagé, il fallait me croire...Les chiffres et Foxsports.com me l'ont confirmé....

Amis Raiders, Chiefs, Broncos, Redskins et Jets misaient tout sur cette année car l'année prochaine....
