The have one more preseason game to play, this Saturday night against the Dallas Cowboys, and roster cutdown day arrives shortly after that.The team likely has a good sense of the way the 53-man roster is going to shake out, but some players are looking to put the final touches on a roster spot, something they Shaq Thompson Jersey probably weren't pegged for by many making predictions.This team will be built in the vision of Jim Harbaugh and he has a very consistent, yet unorthodox approach in certain areas. That will make some of these positional battles interesting, Sean Chandler Jersey but these players are on the verge of stealing a spot.Chargers players who could steal a roster spotSimi Fehoko, WRThe Chargers have been all over the place at wide receiver this offseason, and no one has talked much about Simi Fehoko. But in addition to having Alex Erickson Jersey a terrific summer, he's a tremendous a set on special teams.Jaret Patterson, RBJaret Patterson made a statement with this team early on this offseason and he has never let go of that momentum. J.K. Dobbins, Gus Edwards and Kimani Vidal are going to be on the team, but Patterson has quite likely pushed Sam Mills Jersey Isaiah Spiller off the roster.Tucker Fisk, TEThe Chargers just signed Tucker Fisk last week, but if the team is going to have four tight ends, he might be the last guy. He looked terrific as a blocker against the Rams and that is something Harbaugh values.Would his inclusion on the roster come at the expense of Donald Parham or Stone Smartt?Luis Perez, QBFrom not even being in the NFL two weeks ago to the No. 2 QB on a roster, that is the spot Luis Perez could find himself in after the Cowboys game as the arrow for Easton Stick is pointing straight south.

PHOENIX -- owner Jeffrey Lurie spent a long time Tuesday trying not to say what appears to be the absolute truth in Philadelphia: Chip Kelly wanted then-general manager Howie Roseman out of the way in order to create the team in his vision. "It wasn't Howie," Lurie said. "I think it was much more Chip's requirement to have sort of a football guy that he was Caris LeVert Jersey comfortable with in terms of helping him day by day and minute by minute. We all recognize the value of, in organizations today, having someone that can manage the cap well, negotiate well, plan well and at the same time, evaluate well and be tied at the hip with the coach."So basically, Kelly didn't think Roseman was a "football guy?""That may have been the interpretation," Lurie said. "But I don't Rodions Kurucs Jersey think any of us really see it that way."A lot of other people do, of course. But the reality is, Lurie is not making a bad football move here. A coach needs personnel to filter into his system. His system, which was wildly succe sful at the college level, is unique. He needs to re-tool the scouting department and re-teach all of the team's evaluators on how to interview and select prospects.The problem is that Lurie isn't really guarding himself from what might happen if it all blows up, or if Kelly seeks more power, money or control in the future.The owner admitted on Tuesday that he did not place any safeguards into Kelly's deal along with his new decision-making power, which ultimately allows the former college star to return to a place where any program would pay top dollar to have him.Then, the would be left with all these unique ingredients with no Wilson Chandler Jersey chef to prepare them. They will have also lost , , and in the proce s."You think Reggie Perry Jersey it through very much," Lurie said. "Chip is bright, he's smart, he's obse sed with football. This man is all about winning and it doesn't matter to him the public perception of a trade or where he's coming from. He's all about football and making us better."Some other hits from Lurie: Lurie was asked about whether is actually his guy, or if this has something to do with the rampant speculation surrounding Marcus Mariota. He smiled and said: "We've got to keep the ratings going, don't we?" On Bradford, and his initial view of him coming out of college: "We thought he was the best young quarterback we'd seen probably since Spencer Dinwiddie Jersey coming out of college. Rookie of the Year his first year, outstanding. Pat Shurmur had him as an offensive coordinator and reconfirmed everything we'd heard about him in the draft proce s. He's an extraordinary competitor, incredibly accurate and needs to stay healthy."The latest Podcast and discu ses which star players were helped (and hurt) by free agency. Find more content on .

Jeff Saturday was the only interim coach to lead his team to a win in his first game, upsetting the Raiders with the , but those teams went 2-1 against the spread. When the Raiders made Rich Bisaccia their interim coach in 2021, he led Las Vegas to an outright win as a 3.5-point underdog against the Broncos.Those numbers are why FOX Sports betting analyst Johnathan Motley Jersey likes the Raiders against the spread on Sunday against the Giants.Interim coaches haven't had as much succe s beyond their opening game, going 35-58 straight up over the last five years.

These past few weeks have been like watching a loved one slowly die.You want to help, but you know theres nothing you can do to stop the inevitable.Sundays surrender at White Hart Lane left Rovers needing a miracle and theyre in short supply around these parts.Even if they can overcome Wigan, theres still the small matter of a last day trip Wesley Matthews Jersey to Stamford Bridge. Dont be fooled by those who say theyll be taking it easy ahead of the Champions League final their demolition of QPR proves otherwise.All of which leaves us with the prospect of trips to the likes of Barnsley and Peterborough next year. The more optimistic types will tell you relegation will mean a guaranteed six points against Burnley next season.

We have no plans to sell Blackburn Rovers, none at all Malcolm Brogdon Jersey . Even if the club got relegated, which is not in our thoughts, we are not planning to sell.Relegation not in their thoughts? Is there no end to the level theyll stoop to try and insult the fans intelligence?Kean once again gave us his I know better than you act as he hit back at comments made by pundits about the performance at Spurs. For some strange reason, its taken too long for much of the media to break ranks when it comes to criticising Kean, but Gary Neville, Ray Wilkins and Glenn Hoddle finally stepped up to the mark and told it how it is.Perhaps now the rest will follow and Nik Stauskas Jersey crank the pre sure up on both the owners and manager. Its clear neither have paid any attention to the views of the fans maybe theyll listen to experienced profe sionals.Whatever the final two games of the season brings, much needs to change at Ewood. New ownership would be a good start. If, as they claim, the club wont be sold, accepting they made a huge mistake appointing Kean and replacing him with Bobby Portis Jersey a proper manager would be the first small step towards building bridges with the fans. This needs to be followed by a decent level of investment in the squad regardle s of which division the club ends up in.The next few weeks will tell us much about the direction the club are heading. If things stay as they are, then League One in 12 months is a genuine po sibility.
