About

Born and raised a Charger fan (and Padres) I have been following the team for nearly 30 years. When I saw Dan Fouts throwing the ball to Joiner, Winslow, and Jefferson, and later Chandler, I was officially in love.
I played cornerback growing up and tried to model my game after Gil Byrd. Seau and Harrison gave me reasons to watch during the lean years.
Writing about the Chargers is a combination of my two biggest passions. I enjoy analyzing the team (I watch every game multiple times, even losses), often focusing on the details and nuances such as line play, DB position, and route running. I look forward to providing the best possible analysis on the Chargers and NFL.

    What up everyone? I wrote an article about the changes here on B/R over the last couple of months, and about some of the things that we used to have, that we don't anymore. If you could, check it out.

    As I have said in the past, many times, I am not on here for AOTD votes, but I believe that if enough of you give me your AOTD vote, then maybe the higher ups will bring back some of the things that are gone.

    Thanks a bunch, I really appreciate it.
