Unser Chat » Heading into the 2018 season the Chargers knew

they needed help at the free safety position http://www.thechargerslockerroom.com/authentic-ladainian-tomlinson-jersey , and needed it badly. Jahleel Addae was set to be the team’s starting safety opposite Derwin James and the team (hopefully) knew that that wasn’t the direction they wanted to go.Earlier in the offseason, the Chargers signed former Philadelphia Eagle safety Jaylen Watkinsto compete and/or provide depth. In an instance we know all too well, Watkins suffered a season-ending injury prior to the regular season. This led to Addae getting the starting nod over Rayshawn Jenkins as the team’s starting free safety and the rest is (forgettable) history.Following the season, the team signed Watkins again for another year to allow the veteran one more shot to make an impact with this team.Basic InfoHeight: 5-11Weight: 194College: FloridaExperience: 5Years with team: 1Contract Status“Jaylen Watkins signed a 1 year, $895,000 contract with the Los Angeles Chargers, including a $60,000 signing bonus, $60 Womens Jatavis Brown Jersey ,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $895,000. In 2019, Watkins will earn a base salary of $805,000, a signing bonus of $60,000 and a roster bonus of $30,000, while carrying a cap hit of $705 Rayshawn Jenkins Jersey ,000 and a dead cap value of $60,000.” - Spotrac.comThe GoodOver his final two years in Philly, Watkins played in 28 games with five starts. During those seasons, he collected 47 total stops with two tackles-for-loss and three passes defensed.Coming out of the University of Florida, Watkins was best known for his physical play style and notable change of direction. He was often used on cornerback blitzes, as well.Watkins offers position flexibility (a big theme in this secondary) and is one of three defenders on the team listed as a “defensive back” on the roster instead of specifically being noted as a cornerback or safety. The other two are current UDFA Rodney Randle and Arrion Springs.The most optimistic view for Watkins going forward would be someone who could provide depth and multiple positions across the secondary to allow Gus Bradley continued versatility in his defense. If he can be the second-string free safety and slot corner, then there’s a spot for him on this team.The BadWatkins is coming off a torn-ACL that he suffered in early August of last year. Due to the demands of the defensive back positions and their vital need to excel in change-of-direction, I would hope Watkins isn’t back any sooner than he has to be. In a situation like this, it’s tough not to think about former CB Jason Verrett and the plethora of injuries he sustained following his initial ACL-tear.I truly believe Watkins’ best football is ahead of him http://www.thechargerslockerroom.com/authentic-justin-jones-jersey , but he’s got to get out of the murkiness of the injury before hopes can get too high.Odds of making the roster/What to expect in 2019Watkins’ chances of making the final 53-man roster are very high, especially if they view Adrian Phillips as still more of a linebacker than a true safety who will provide depth behind James. If we exclude Phillips from the safety group, they should very much keep four safeties in James, Adderley, Jenkins, and Watkins.If fully-healthy, I expect a limited amount of snaps for Watkins with the chance to see some legitimate playing time if the defense decides to continue their trend of trotting out 6+ defensive backs.Fun Fact: Watkins was a member of the Philadelphia Eagles during their Super Bowl-winning 2017 season.

So in August of 2016, the Rams hosted the Cowboys and owner Jerry Jones, who is largely credited with providing the necessary persuasion among his fellow owners to allow the Rams to relocate, in a relatively meaningless preseason game.Cowboys’ defense played well enough to win most road games, offense must now step it up vs. Rams - Blogging The BoysNow, they face the task of being able to go win a playoff game, on the road, which they haven’t done in 25-years and are ‘0’ for their last seven during that span. They are also 3-5 on the road this season after going 12-4 over the past two seasons. When you are the fourth-seed in the NFC Virgil Green Jersey , being 8-1 at home doesn’t help much. At some point, to reach that ultimate goal, it’s going to take a road victory to get there.
