Excellent article! As a Charger fan, I totally agree that it will be very difficult, if not downright impossible, to duplicate last years success. SD won't sneak up on anyone as a team, and neither will Brees and Gates, individually. Teams will have had a full year of game tape to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of both those players.

You mentioned the OL and Hudosn Houck. Carl Mauck has a decent reputation, but he's not Houck. The OL is the key to the season this year, IMO. Give LT room and give Brees time (isn't that true of every team?) and SD can win 10 games. If the OL falters, so do their playoff hopes.

Jammer, IMO, has been a disappointment. Like you said, he is not good in coverage giving up way too many big plays.

A healthy DE Dave Ball and the emergence of Merriman will improve not only the pass rush but the pass defense.
