After falling 38-14 to division rivals thee Oakland Raiders, the San Diego Chargers capped off a roller coaster 2011 season at a record of 6-10. In true San Diego form, the Chargers stumbled out the gate,even losing 6 straight games at one point in the middle of the season but showed progression winning 4 of their last 5 against owned franchises.
" We had to do something different,our game plan was wasn't working so we hired a new offensive coordinator to run a different offense and things improved immediately " - Owner, President & General Manager - Matthew Bailey
Bullseye Bailey,a legendary Football personality made his return to the game after a 3 year retirement. He commented on the Chargers future.
" Coach Norv Turner's job is safe. I spoke to him earlier and we're both on the same page moving forward. I've made it clear that I returned to win and were gunning for the top spot,beginning with our competitive AFC West division. Right now we've resigned a few key players,next were going to be scouting for the draft before attacking the free agent market "
One of the league's top receiver's Vincent Jackson re-signed for 5 year's after coming off an incredible 2011.
" I always wanted to stay,me and Philip have great chemistry. Bailey understood my importance and one of the first thing's he told me was that I'm the best receiver in the league and will get paid like it. He stayed true to his word so I'm going to go out and perform even better just for him next year " Jackson told Super Charged.
All season long Jackson and Calvin Johnson Jr.,another stud wide out stood battled for receiving supremacy but in their week 16 match up it was Vincent who got the better of the two.
Bullseye wasted no time, already trading for Strong Safety T.J. Ward at the expense of Right Guard Louis Vasquez
" T.J. is a young athletic Safety, who fits the strategy were trying to execute. Bob Sanders is set to become a free agent so we feel it's best to go our separate ways. Ward is a great compliment to Eric and will become a leader on Defense. " Bailey
The Chargers still have more gaps to fill on defense. With MLB Stephen Cooper set to become a free agent and MLB Takeo Spikes climbing in age, expect San Diego to improve their 3-4 formation at the draft. Philip Rivers is still one of the best QB's in the league and Antonio Gates is undoubtedly the best Tight End in game,the Chargers future looks promising heading into the 2012 USSML season
