But the standout performance of James also highlighted a glaring weakness in the bolts secondary. Jahleel Addae left much to be desired following his play at free safety this past season. The six-year pro was repeatedly exposed, taking bad angles and displaying poor tackling ability in his pursuit of receivers. Addae constantly looked out of place and was a liability to The Chargers defense. Should Los Angeles look to the draft to add more competition to the safety position, Delaware’s Nasir Adderley could be an intriguing option. A three-year starter for the Blue Hens, Adderley is the one of the best small school prospects to enter this year’s draft class. Adderley finished a stellar 2018 season ranking in the top-20 nationally among defensive backs with his career best 87 tackles. He also recorded a team-high four interceptions, seven pass break-ups and one forced fumble. In fact, over the past years, Adderley is the only player in the college football to register over 160 tackles and nine interceptions.At 5-foot-11 and 200 pounds Womens Kyzir White Jersey , Adderley is a versatile prospect with the capability of playing safety at the single-high position or in the box. He shows great instincts and awareness when reading the quarterback anticipating throws and breaking on receiver routes. Adderley has solid read-and react-ability, displaying good closing burst to the ball from off coverage. He possesses the hip fluidity and footwork of a cornerback which allows him to quickly redirect and transition with wide outs.Adderley is high-IQ player that gives effort on every snap, playing with a physical attitude. Not just on defense but on special teams as well. With solid tackling ability, he makes contact on receivers over the middle with good timing. Adderley has a nose for the football and the capability of contending passes at the high point of attack.The Draft Network’s Joe Marino holds the small school prospect in high regards “He should be a high-impact, playmaking starter that is among the pillars of an NFL defense.” Marino said. “Whatever assignment a safety could be tasked with, Adderley has shown the ability and requisite traits needed to fulfill it.”NFL Media’s Daniel Jeremiah released his Top 50 players and ranked Adderley as the No. 27 overall prospect on his board. When he attends the combine later this month, he will become the eighth player in Delaware history to receive an invite. Adderley is a player with few weaknesses to his game. Occasionally he can be over aggressive at times when in pursuit of receivers. But most questions stem from his level of competition that he faced in the FCS as well as his limited exposure in man coverage. The Chargers met with Adderley during an impressive week of practice leading up the Senior Bowl.With his rising draft stock leading up to the draft, he is expected to be one of the first safeties off the board in April. If Los Angeles decides to spend another consecutive first-round pick at the safety position Virgil Green Jersey , Adderley’s physicality, competitiveness and athleticism could give the Chargers another playmaker to boost their secondary. COSTA MESA, Calif. (AP) — It might be time for Melvin Gordon to seriously reconsider his absence from the Los Angeles Chargers.Gordon has held out since the beginning of training camp in hopes of getting a contract extension. The fifth-year running back — along with those who watched Sunday’s 30-24 overtime victory over the Indianapolis Colts — saw an offense just as effective and balanced as it was last season.The Chargers averaged 6.0 yards per carry in the running game. Austin Ekeler scored three touchdowns and had a career-best 154 yards from scrimmage, while Justin Jackson rushed for 57 yards. With the success of the run game and the balance of the offense, it looked the same as last year except for Gordon not being there.“When we are balanced, there is no question that is when we play our best,” said Philip Rivers, who passed for 333 yards and three touchdowns. “We can dink-and-dunk it http://www.thechargerslockerroom.com/authentic-mike-pouncey-jersey , we can line up in two tights and pound it, we can use the hard run-action and get big chunks like we did to Hunter (Henry) and Keenan (Allen).”WHAT’S WORKINGEkeler and left tackle Scott as a duo. Ekeler has transitioned into the lead role and became the first non-drafted player to have over 150 scrimmage yards, two receiving and a rushing TD in the same game in 43 years. The Chargers had 10 carries over 10 yards as the offensive line did an effective job opening holes.Rivers said most of the success on the ground came off a base running play, which allowed the line to open large holes up the middle.The much-maligned line also a good job of giving Rivers time in the pocket for most of the game. Scott was solid for the most part in his first start.An even more encouraging note is that the line was not called for a holding penalty, which was not the case during the preseason. Right tackle Sam Tevi was called for an illegal motion and Scott got flagged for an illegal formation.WHAT NEEDS HELPThe Chargers were ninth against the run and allowed only two 100-yard rushers last season. Indianapolis’ Marlon Mack shredded Los Angeles for 174 yards, including a 63-yard touchdown during the third quarter.That is the most yards a running back has gained against the Chargers since Adrian Peterson set an NFL record with 296 for the Minnesota Vikings in 2007. The Chargers allowed 203 yards to the Colts, the second most since Lynn took over in 2017.“That’s an area where we have gotten better the past couple seasons, but we took a step back yesterday Womens Isaac Rochell Jersey ,” Lynn said. “Anytime a team runs the football that many times for that many yards it is a physical thing and we have to get better.”STOCK UPTy Long punted, kicked an extra point and made a field goal in his first NFL game. He is the first player to do that in his debut since Olindo Mare with Miami in 1997. Long did double duty the past two years with the BC Lions of the Canadian Football League, but it is not often done in the NFL.“I’ll be brutally honest with you. It felt exactly like a CFL game. The speed felt the same, everything,” Long said.STOCK DOWNCornerback and punt returner Desmond King, who muffed a punt late in the third quarter. The Colts took over at the Chargers 27 but could not convert the turnover into points when Adam Vinatieri was wide left from 29 yards.King averaged 9.2 yards on punt returns last year and ran one back 73 yards for a touchdown in a Week 13 victory over Pittsburgh. But he has three fumbles with two lost over the past six games, including the playoffs.“He has to make that correction,” Lynn said. “I know he is trying to make a play Michael Badgley Jersey , but sometimes you have to fair catch and just take the ball where they punt it.”INJUREDCB Michael Davis is expected to miss at least a couple weeks with a hamstring injury. That leaves the Chargers with only three healthy cornerbacks and would necessitate a roster move. … K Michael Badgley, who injured his groin during last Friday’s practice, is questionable for Sunday’s game at Detroit.KEY NUMBER121.3 — Rivers’ passer rating on Sunday after completing 25 of 34 passes. The Chargers are 43-5 and have won eight straight when he posts a rating over 120.NEXT STEPSThe Chargers are 1-0 for the first time in Lynn’s three seasons as coach. They look to win their opening two for the first time since 2012 when they travel to Detroit, a team they have defeated seven of the last eight times.
