OK, Thanks. And wasn't Albert significantly better the last half of the season? Which would make the injury thing sort of a non-issue.

I read through all this crap and can't get that time back so I'll make a few comments -

The Chargers are NOT that talented. That's been a myth for a while. It's not coaching that holds them back it's the fact that that team gets to win a lot of games playing in a weak division and when they face playoff teams they get their shit pushed in. Rivers is a good QB but really overrated by some on this board. Some even state shit like "I'd take him over Brees" when Brees is CLEARLY the superior player. That is NOT even a discussion.

Albert is a TRUE left tackle. His feet are fantastic. However he was injured early and also trying to get used to playing at a new weight. The last 4-5 games of the season he was dominate. However because some people don't watch the games they just kept saying "Albert sucks, we have to replace him" without even seeing he was playing at a very high level to close out the season.

We do badly need a right tackle. I have a feeling if we don't upgrade that spot before camp all season I'm going to be punching myself in the nuts watching that RT spot.

:facepalm:

Unreal the amount of garbage that gets said around here.

Not saying they are the best team in the NFL, but they are clearly pretty talented.

Yes like saying the Chargers are deep and talented all over. Their record is more a reflection of the state of the AFC West for the past several years, not how great the Chargers are. Their secondary is weak, their linebackers are average and Jamal Williams is gone now and wasn't that great last year. Merriman hasn't been the same since he dropped his roid use and Phillips isn't so hot without Merriman on roids.

So what do they have? Vincent Jackson, Darren Sproles who is nothing more than a change of pace back, and Phillip Rivers.

So no, they aren't that talented.

OK whatever. u win.

i know.

If you keep posting that often enough, maybe time will warp and it will become true.

High school career
Monroe played at Plainfield High School in Plainfield, New Jersey. He was a SuperPrep All-American, a Parade All-American and All-USA by USA Today. Monroe was a two-time First-team All-State lineman after going the final 25 games of his career without allowing a quarterback sack. Monroe was considered a five-star recruit by Rivals.com and was ranked first among the top offensive tackle prospects in 2005.[1]


Considered only a two-star recruit by Rivals.com, Albert was not ranked among the nations top recruits.[2] Because he had played football for only one season, but also because of Albert's poor grades, the University of Virginia was the only school to offer Albert a scholarship.[1]

College career
Still struggling academically, Albert spent the 2004 season at Hargrave Military Academy. He played football and was able to obtain a qualifying grade-point average and standardized test score.

Monroe was recruited for the position, and he never lost it. Albert was an afterthought who filled in for Monroe two games without making a fool of himself.
And by the way, while the Brick was still there: As a freshman at the University of Virginia, Monroe played left tackle and right guard and played in every game.

You're entitled to your woody for Albert - that's a matter of opinion. But facts are facts.

I think Barry Richardson should be the RT. He is huge and powerfull. I know he is a raw tallent and needs work but I wouldn't give up on him. I think he will prove himself valuable on this team. He is still a young prospect much to learn, yet I have faith in him to do it.

And you can post all the bullshit you want.

Al Groh said that Albert was set to start at LT, but an inury to Albert's replacement at LG changed the plan, and Monroe didn't have Albert's mobility to move in space, an attribute his offense needed.

I have no link.
Just an interview I heard.

Them's the facts.

Yes, because he's a moron.Posted via Mobile Device

Al Groh you say?

"We saw Eugene as the natural heir apparent," Groh said. "Behind 'Brick,' he was only going to play so much, but he was going to get a taste of it and be ready to go.

"Then, the second or third day of his first spring practice, he dislocated his knee. So, he missed the whole spring and was severely impeded by it over the course of the next season."

Monroe was so ineffective early in the season that he lost his starting job to Zak Stair, although he got his job back for the last month of the season and started six games overall.

Doctors had cleared Monroe to begin the 2006 season, "but, frankly, if we had a way to look into the future and known how much he was going to be impeded, we probably wouldn't have played him," Groh said.

So Monroe played the whole season with an injury. Do you suppose that might have affected his mobility? Fortunately, when he couldn't get it done, Groh was able to turn to his first choice Branden Albert Zak Stair to start in his place.

THEM'S the facts.

You used your 10 minute break at McDonalds to log in and talk trash? You renegade.

LOL this is actually pretty funny.

They're also a one dimensional team that can't run the ball. That's why when they ran into a D like the Jets, they did nothing...
