The Chargers amazing come from behind victory

AFC West leading Chiefs in Kansas City has been over for less than 20 minutes...which means it�s the perfect time to throw down some hot taeks while I�m high on the win.Philip Rivers is your new leader for MVPPatrick Mahomes is having an absurdly amazing season. He can do things from the QB position that are so rare White Adrian Phillips Jerseys , it�s hard to say I�ve seen anything like it. He is most certainly the league�s Offensive Player of the Year. But Philip Rivers is the MVP. Mahomes was without Sammy Watkins and has been without Kareem Hunt for 2 weeks after he was suspended by the league, and they got taken to overtime by the Baltimore Ravens, then lost at home, with probably a top 3 home field advantage in the NFL. Rivers has been without Melvin Gordon multiple times this season, including on the road against the Pittsburgh Steelers and here on the road against the Chiefs. He was without Keenan Allen for almost the entire game tonight. He has an inferior offensive line compared to what the Chiefs have. And what did Rivers do? He won. From behind. Both times. Not to mention Rivers hasn�t had a real �home game� in 2 years. It doesn�t matter who�s running routes, or who�s blocking in front of him this year. Rivers just has this team winning games. Rivers is your MVP. I never doubted Mike WilliamsOk, not really. But he is making me into one hell of a believer. Keenan Allen went down early tonight and Mike Williams stepped up exactly how you would expect from a guy drafted 7th overall. He was attacking the ball at the highest point, he was making great catches, he was running good routes, he was using his size and strength to bully defenders both before and after the catch. He wound up with 8 touches for 95 total yards and 3 total touchdowns. We all hope Keenan Allen winds up being ok, but Mike Williams just completely picked up the slack and probably more importantly, just established a TON of trust and confidence between himself and Rivers. The road to the Super Bowl is going to go through a 27k seat Soccer StadiumThe Chargers still need to win their last 2 games, and the Chiefs still need to lose one more (either on the road in Seattle or at home against the Raiders) Adrian Phillips Jerseys 2019 , but it could happen. For all of you that are still bitter from the move, I don�t know how you can�t root for that to happen. Think about how satisfying it will be to see Dean and the League embarrassed when they are forced to host at least one, and probably 2 playoff games, including an AFC Championship, in a stadium that seats less than 30k fans. Or possibly more embarrassing, force the Chargers to play �home� playoff games in a different stadium so they can sell more tickets. Or if you�re still just a fan of the Chargers, how amazing is it that the Chargers can now realistically taste the division championship and #1 seed. This Defense is ELITEThe Chargers defense, without either of the 2 interior defensive linemen projected to start before the season (Corey Liuget and Brandon Mebane), without Denzel Perryman at LB, and without Trevor Williams who started the season as CB2, just held the #1 offense in the NFL to under 300 Net Yards of offense and 28 points. Kansas City had been averaging 437.5 yards of offense and 36.2 points per game this season. Patrick Mahomes has only been held to less than 260 yards passing 3 times this season. 2 of those times were by this Chargers defense. This defense could still use a replacement for Jahleel Addae, a true NT, and maybe some help at ILB (although getting Kyzir White back could be at least a large part of that answer) White Michael Schofield Jerseys , and another solid corner. But even with that being the case, this Defense is putting the Chargers in position to win games time and time again. Chargers don�t have an RB2They have RB1, RB1A, RB1B, and RB1C. Melvin Gordon, Austin Ekeler, Justin Jackson, and Detrez Newsome are all starting quality running backs. Obviously Melvin Gordon is having an amazing season and has definitely established himself as the RB1 on this team. But the 3 guys behind him are all so capable, and versatile, that the offense doesn�t have to panic if Gordon isn�t available for a few weeks during the season. Yes it definitely helps that Rivers is playing like the league MVP this season, and that the defense is playing at an elite level. But you have to give Tom Telesco and his staff credit for finding this stable of backs, and Anthony Lynn and his staff for recognizing what they have in these guys and keeping them around.

The Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama has come and gone, as well, with new names rising up draft boards while others may be finding themselves falling or staying a bit too stagnant for their liking.Here at Bolts From The Blue, we are chomping at the bit to get the gears turning on our own draft coverage where we hope to bring you the content you deserve and the content you yearn for while maintaining the tightest coverage on what the Bolts are doing through the months leading up to the 2019 NFL Draft in Nashville, TN.To satifsy some of your smaller cravings for draft content, I hope to put out a number of short-and-sweet draft profiles to get you all up to date on draft prospects you should be aware of that could potentially don the bolt this year and for years to come.First up is Ole Miss� Greg Little, a massive offensive tackle that could be the answer to the team�s needs at the right tackle spot opposite Russell Okung.At 6-foot-6 and 325 pounds, no one needs to ask what position Little is best suited for. It still amuses me that we get to right about such a large player with the such an oxymoron for a last name. The former 5-star recruit and top-ranked offensive line recruit in the country came to Oxford, Mississippi by way of Allen High School, the perennial powerhouse down in the heart of Texas. He was also the number two recruit in the entire country by Scout and ESPN.As a true freshmen, Little played in every game during his first year on campus with five starts. That year, the Rebels possessed the 13th-ranked passing offense in the country (314.9 yds/game) and allowed the fewest tackles-for-loss per game (4.67). For his efforts White Russell Okung Jerseys , he was named a Freshman All-American by Rivals.com and a Freshman All-SEC first team selection.In his sophomore campaign, Little started all 12 games at left tackles and was named a second-team All-SEC selection by the AP and the Coaches. Prior to the season, NFL.com named him the 31st-best player in college football.In 2018, after being placed on numerous preseason All-American teams, Little helped protect senior quarterback Jordan Ta�amu as he got to chuck the ball around to the best wide receiver trio in the country.Little lived up to almost all of his preseason hype as he was named a first-team All-Sec selection and a second-team All-American pick by numerous publications, including the FWAA, CBS Sports, and Phil Steele.The former top prospect was definitely a work-in-progress and it showed during his first two years at Ole Miss. No matter his shortcomings, Little�s God-given physical talents are the types of things you cannot coach. When you throw on the tape, your first thought is, �a man that large shouldn�t be able to move like that.� His fundamentals, footwork, hand-technique Russell Okung Jerseys 2019 , it was all sushi-raw in the beginning. But thankfully, he took the biggest, and most necessary leap with his technique between the 2017 and 2018 seasons.In my opinion, he has always known that his capabilities are above those around him, but it looked like he finally realized how to utilize his elite tools in his true junior season. His strong powerful hands are much more refined and are able to find his mark on the defender�s breastplate at a much higher rate. The power behind his palms is something to be seen, too. He looks like he salivates at the chance to down block interior linemen with the way he shoots off that line and into the ear hole of the pour soul.His combination of size and athleticism seems like a natural fit in the Chargers offense. His movement skills make him an easy fit in the multiple-run scheme that Lynn loves to use while giving the Chargers a looming presence with enough agility to handle some of the elite edge rushers that call the AFC West home.While looking around at a number of mock drafts, there is a real chance that Little finds himself available at the end of the first round. With Alabama�s Jonah Williams, Florida�s Jawaan Taylor, and Oklahoma�s Cody Ford gaining some steam at this point of the off-season, and the plethora of defensive linemen aiming to go early on day one, Little could easily fall to the Chargers as an afterthought to the rest of the league.
