Chargers vs. Jaguars: Can Gaither Be the Answer at Left Tackle

Handout/Getty Images

Jared Gaither has already been cut by two teams this season (Ravens, Chiefs), but has looked good so far in this Monday Night Game.

Gaither was slated as the potential cornerstone of the Raven's line, but was a disappointment and did not show the Ravens the toughness to play the position. He was subsequently cut in off season and signed by the Chiefs. The Chiefs cut him last week after a false penalty that may have cost them the game.

Gaither has showed the athleticism at 6'8" that made him a coveted LT on multiple plays against the Jaguars this Monday. With the Chargers offensive line in shambles, missing two of there three pro bowl offensive linemen out, need what ever help they can get.

If Gaither can anchor Philip Rivers' backside, it will make Rivers job a lot easier. If the Chargers are to have any chance against the Ravens, Lions, and Raiders (all of which have elite pass rushers), they will need someone to step up along the line.

And Gaither could be that guy...
