A fresh Ekeler with limited touches is a damn dangerous weapon. Today has been fantastic. Find us a starting LT and lets head to the draft. 9 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chargers were a dysfunctional mess. Even Herbert underachieved badly. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDawg Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Ekeler is an aging back. I think it’s prudent to set expectations appropriately. Luvu and Biadasz are the equal stars of the show right now. Two really great signings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekeler is no longer a starter at this stage of his career. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OtisDriftwood25 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Perfect guy for a late flier running back or undrafted guy to learn from too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 (edited) 3 minutes ago, Warhead36 said: Yeah he might be on the verge of being washed, but he'll still make a fine safety valve as a receiver out of the backfield and compliment to Robinson. I really don’t expect Robinson to be here for long. I don’t think he’s a great fit of Kliff’s system, but I’m interested to see how we use him.

Jumbo Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Lukewarm on ekeler just cuz he seemed a shadow of himself recently. But not bummed cuz I put our new guys way over me judgement wise 🙃 and I read he's a good locker room guy. Also I didn't read any results yet on cost. 😛 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaRonDontLikeUgly Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 1 minute ago, AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy said: For the record, Ekeler sucked last year. Let’s hope he plays better. Staley had Nathaniel Hackett vibes as a head coach- the whole team played like trash. Love Eckler as a situational back (potential starter) and he's going to teach our young backs how to improve their game and careers immensely. Him and Terry gonna be BFFs - I'm calling it right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodpecker Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Eckler is a great signing for the price! Good to see peters taking advantage of the discount pricing on running backs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staley and Kellan Moore could not get it going. I’m more concerned about him being on the field. But sharing the backfield with BRob and CRod is ideal. Love this signing!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously Anthony Lynn still thinks he can play so hopefully this is a great signing. Cost is very reasonable. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facts, not mad at the signing, but I still want B-Rob to be the primary RB for us. B-Rob is way better between the tackles. B-Rob is a young beast who was held back in EBs offense last season, and is destined to have a breakout season. Again, not mad at all, Kingsbury will make this work. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see peters taking advantage of the discount pricing on running backs. basically paying him $1M more in year 1 than Gibby. Lower his reps and keep his explosiveness and let Brob cook and wear down defenses. Edited March 11 by RabidFan 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
