McBoog Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 FYI It may be just a precaution, but VJax has missed 6 straight practices w/ a hamstring "issue". Everyone is saying no big deal, but WRs and hamstrings always worry me . He has garnered nothing but praise in camp and only Jammer is considered to be having a summer anywhere near as good. Has has been catching everything and has a great rapport with Rivers now. If healthy, this could be one of the best WR combos this year (Chambers/VJax). Adjust your boards if needed.

REZ Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I don't like that. You're right that hammy's and wr's are a bad combo. As a person following the Chargers, it's not good if he can't go. Gates is already hurting and can't afford to lose VJax too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budlitebrad Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I'm not that knowledgeable, so someone help me out... who's SD's 3rd WR? I keep looking and none of them seem all that good? With Parker gone, it'd have to be Buster Davis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brentastic Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 With Parker gone, it'd have to be Buster Davis. This is correct. OTOH - I'm a big fan of Chambers this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtdickens Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Someone needs to tell VJax he has to be good before he can use the WR/Hammy excuse to get out of camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargerz Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Is there a reason why Buster 'only' had seven catches last year? With Chambers, VJax, Tomlinson, and Gates already getting their touches, there are just not enough opportunities for a third wideout to contribute. Legedu Naanee has also had a good camp, and Kassim Osgood wants to contribute at receiver so they might also get chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budlitebrad Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 (edited) Does Naanee or Osgood have a chance at the 3rd WR spot? Or is Davis just so much better than them? I don't know about Naanee, but Osgood has been more of a special teams guy since he's been there and has never moved up the depth chart. SD's offense doesn't really utilize the 3rd WR though, especially when they have Gates and LT catching passes.

REZ Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Davis is better then Osgood. That's not saying a lot though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chargerz Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Does Naanee or Osgood have a chance at the 3rd WR spot? Or is Davis just so much better than them? My guess is that it'll be Davis versus Naanee with Davis having the edge right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunning Runt Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Whatever happened to Malcolm Floyd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargerz Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Whatever happened to Malcolm Floyd? He's still in the mix but hasn't really been a star WR in camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
