Chargers guard Fluker hopes to return to lineup Sunday against Vikings

Speaking of Minnesota’s defensive line, the front four of Joseph, Floyd, Robison and Everson Griffen will be a handful for San Diego’s offensive line, which is second-worst in pass-blocking efficiency through two games (69.7), according to PFF.

That was one of a few memorable examples of how Peterson was able to affect the Lions without carrying the ball, though he did plenty of that Sunday, too.

“This does help my recovery, to see if I can play and to see what I can do”. “You want to be a part of it. It’s kind of hard watching”. The Chargers have the weapons to run up the score but this defense is sticky and can easily slow the game down. The Vikings hit him eight times, including a shot near the out of bounds stripe by Anthony Barr that was penalized for unnecessary roughness.

Turner said Peterson seemed a little tired against the Lions on Sunday, which may have contributed to the fumbling. “He’ll be going up against San Diego’s 6’9”, 330-pound behemoth at left tackle. I’m really not talking about Detroit.

If you’re ready to note the small sample size of two games, keep in mind that this is not a new issue in San Diego. Zimmer felt players during the week heeded his words and they had a good week of practice. He’s extremely smart, he’s crafty in getting them in and out of the right plays.

“I don’t know about groupie, but I’m a big fan”, Gordon said.

With that in mind, away we go… “They need to try to get out of bounds”.

Zimmer was the defensive coordinator in Cincinnati through 2013 and the Bengals still run the same system.

Like the Vikings, the Chargers sit at 1-1 after two weeks.

Both the Chargers and Vikings have high expectations this season but someone will leave this contest under.500. Those guys are 300-305 pounds but they’re quick and athletic. Offensive coordinator Norv Turner, whom the Chargers know very well after serving as head coach for six seasons, will probably come into Sunday’s game with the same attack. Rivers might not be mentioned in the same sentence as Tom Brady, Peyton Manning or Aaron Rodgers, but he was Pro Football Focus’ third ranked quarterback in 2013 and the eighth best in 2014. “I said y’all have dress rehearsed this for no telling how many times”. Though normally reliable, quarterbacks have been able to pick on him lately.

“One guy’s not going to bring him down”. “Anything is possible. Just got to get on a roll, and it’s got to be one of those days”. But Greenway will go even lower this week. That’s something we saw in college when he broke the record against Nebraska. Before he broke the [single game rushing] record against Nebraska, he had fumbled the ball.

“I remember that bobbing head up the sideline, ” Weddle said. Last week, he caught five passes (on seven targets) for a touchdown and was Bridgewater’s favorite option in the passing game. To me, this comes down to which offense can hold onto the ball and if the Chargers have enough to protect Rivers. The Vikings offense is averaging just 299 yards per game thus far while the defense is giving up 359 yards per game. Green did practice in a limited capacity on both Wednesday and Thursday, and the team is optimistic he will be cleared for Sunday. He’ll likely be playing behind a depleted offensive line for the second straight week. “You can get yourself in the same trouble you do with a win as you do with a loss”.
