CD Newsletter Week 16

@undermysac

Before last week's game he said that his ankle was sore, but it wasn't as bad as the one he sustained earlier in the year. Herbert is going to have time with the pass rush, because:

-His interior offensive line tends to collapse very easily around him.
-The Chargers haven't had a run game since Dobbins was out.
-His ankle injury *does* affect his mobility, so he's forced to stay in the pocket a little longer. But see the first point.

This was a previously flexed game, and it sure would've helped if the Chargers had their game on Sunday as originally planned.

The Chargers injury report:

Questionable - Perryman (LB), Ogbonnia (DT), Johnson (LG), Hurst (TE)

Among these, the most significant would be Perryman and Johnson. However, I'm thinking Jamaree Salyer could sustain Zion Johnson's level of play at LG. You saw what happened to the Chargers run defense the past couple of weeks. Perryman is needed if the Chargers don't want the Broncos to extend drives on offense, thus gassing up the defense as they continue to stay on the field.

As I type this out, I can't see how not having Ogbonnia helps. Poona Ford and Teair Tart -- both bargain bin acquisitions who have turned out great for the Chargers -- will need to be spelled. Morgan Fox will be in the mix too. 

It's hard to tell with these Questionable tags if they will play, but as mentioned in a previous post, I think Perryman plays. And I'm hoping at least Ogbonnia plays. Zion Johnson is a 1st round pick at Guard, but as mentioned earlier in this commentary, I think Salyer will play fine in his place. PFF hasn't graded Johnson too kindly this year and he's part of the IOL problem.

Doubtful - Molden (S)

Huge loss, imo, because the Chargers are already without Alohi Gilman at safety. He's been extremely solid for the Chargers since they traded for him. If he's out, then unc Marcus Maye (who the Dolphins cut a couple of weeks back) will be starting in place of him. With Tony Jefferson undoubtedly elevated for this game, you're going to see an aging backfield.

Out - Dissly (TE), Hart (CB)

Losing out on Hart is going to hurt. Dissly is also a great blocking TE, but we've been without him for a couple of weeks, and in his stead, Stone Smartt has played well. Especially in the passing game. The Chargers will have Eric Tomlinson and Tucker Fisk as the blocking TEs for this game.

This was just released 4 minutes ago. I haven't seen the Broncos game statuses yet.

@iConsciousness

 CB Riley Moss has been ruled out.

Pat Surtain, John Franklin Meyers, and DJ Jones were full participants in practice today.

Record update when I get a chance.

GL on your plays. I like your totals the most. (Not sure on that Commanders play but no doubt you looked at the numbers and felt good with it.)

@iConsciousness

 The #'s on the Commanders and Eagles don't say much, the spread is where it should be.

Just going old school on this one, home divisional dog, revenge game.

Hope the coin lands on my side.

The thing about the U tonight is that if both team struggle to generate a ground game the ball could end up in the air often. Does have a dead nut U feel to it though.GLuck Sac. 

Great coaching match tonight. Both are great at adjusting. Made my own line before looking and Denver -1 was it. Conclusion was No Home field advantage per say and Harbs just doesn't have enough talent in this situation due to circumstances. Denver +2.5 EV was played. Should be worth watching. That total is spot on me thinks. 

If both teams can't run, and both offenses are 1 dimensional, I like the under even more.

@JOHNNY_ODAE

 A good price at even juice 

78

My guess is Falcons players will be fired up feel rejuvenated, but one would have to believe they are not going to open up the playbook for Pennix here and 9 points no thanks BUT if I were into other types of wagering I would have them in ml parlay and or teasers. 

SF just lost the 8th string RB they were using

He's out

Here's a stat for you that no one else could provide. 

I usually don't go to the Chargers home games on primetime, but they're 2-0 when I'm in attendance. And as mentioned before, I'll be attending. 

@iConsciousness
