@TheKyleDe Thanks Kyle. You are more optimistic than I am re comp picks next year. Hope you’re right!

Day 1 Recap: Love the offseason so far. Biggest Concern - will the signings of Trevor Penning and Cole Strange cancel out Zion or Odafe's comp picks? If Keenan returns... we only have one more potential CFA to protect our top picks from cancellation. stormcloud.blog/hortizs-2026-o…

@DanielHarris No

Lastly, I don’t believe any proper coverage of the #WorldCup neglects to cover a team living under dictatorship that opted to not sing the anthem at its first game but halfheartedly sings it for the second while looking stressed, without connecting the tyrannical dots at play.

FWIW I hate the Islamic Republic, have told Mahsa and Sahar’s stories, and support a good chunk of Masih’s efforts. But I think her take, and fixation, is misdirected at the team and harmful to efforts to get sports to help create powerful change in the world. My two cents.

@danielrpopper Staley spent all off-season talking about how the coaches would maximise Herbert's skillset. Do you think the offensive game plan is achieving this goal?

@Sick7two @GACPodcast17 @Joelhatcher77 Hayward was cut so won't count towards a comp pick.

@nealfleming @GACPodcast17 @Joelhatcher77 There's another month to go, I think Hayward or Ingram will be signed right after the draft.

Apparently the Chargers are projected to gain four late round 2022 compensatory picks from the departures of Tyrod, Feeney, Tevi, and Perryman - per OTC. Shoutout to @nealfleming for sharing.

@GACPodcast17 @Sick7two @Joelhatcher77 June 1 is the cutoff for comp pick formula as far as I know.

@Sick7two @Joelhatcher77 @nealfleming Usually is after the draft I believe, which is why the Ravens are waiting to sign Villanueva

@Joelhatcher77 @GACPodcast17 I think Jared Cook was cut rather than contract expired?

@GACPodcast17 @nealfleming Why is Jared Cook not mentioned, he'd count as a player gained right?

@GACPodcast17 4 as it stands per OTC

Thought this was interesting as well. Figured that the departures of Henry and Jenkins would have been offset by Linsley and Feiler’s contracts. Unless they’re getting one for Pouncey’s retirement they didn’t really lose anyone else to big contracts.

@UCCFantasyFoot Nightmare

No Cancelo, Stones or Saka for monthly leader @nealfleming and his captain has blanked too 😬. #Season20 #BrendanRichardsonCup 🏆

@danielrpopper Lynn preaches accountability yet George Stewart is still ST coach.

And there is another special teams penalty. It's almost comical at this point. #Chargers

@danielrpopper There was a suggestion on the ringer NFL show that conditioning might be a factor in the repeated defensive collapses. Do you think there is anything in this?

Reply here with your Week 9 #Chargers mailbag questions!

@danielrpopper Finished last season with worst special teams DVOA. Consistency.

The #Chargers entered today's game with the worst special teams DVOA in the league by a considerable margin. They will only widen that gap after this performance.

@danielrpopper Were the worst special teams unit in the league last year also when they had all of the above.

#Chargers special teams coverage units have been a mess this season. They miss Derek Watt, Nick Dzubnar and Adrian Phillips. And Drue Tranquill.

@danielrpopper Why does Bradley get so conservative late in games? Always seems so easy for teams to drive down the field when Chargers are winning by a score. My feeling of dread increasing all the way.

🎶 Closing time, one last call (for #Chargers questions) so (please send them over my way) 🎶

@guilderdbutcher @tastypoultry Any chance you could set aside a few of those burgers for me for Saturday morning?!

@danielrpopper Is there any indication that they might try Nasir Adderley at cornerback? Given Lynn's statements on Jenkins, free safety seems to be a long shot for Adderley.

Send me mailbag questions please!

@SkyHelpIreland Thanks for the reply, Brian. Will get that sorted this morning.
