Chargers Vs. Jaguars: Defense Can Take Advantage Of Philip Rivers

The Jacksonville Jaguars host the San Diego Chargers on Monday Night Football, but they'll be facing a quarterback in Philip Rivers who has struggled mightily this season. In last year's match up between the teams in San Diego, Rivers ripped up the Jaguars defense to the tune of 334 yards and 3 touchdowns. Rivers also threw two interceptions, which was uncommon for him.
That was last year, however. This season Rivers has already thrown 17 interceptions, more than he threw all of last season. He's also thrown just 16 touchdowns, almost half as many as he threw last season. Rivers has been off for much of the season and he'll be playing a Jaguars defense that has done a complete 180 defensively.
The team Rivers faced last year was one of the worst pass defense in the NFL. This season, with some key defensive additions in free agency, he'll be facing one of the best. The defense will be without starting cornerbacks Rashean Mathis and Derek Cox, who were both lost for the season, but the defense has still done a good job of limiting opposing passers.

I dont know if anyone noticed this
But last week Tebow had hours of time to throw in the pocket. If the Chargers pass rush struggles, our offense could actually succeed. It has been shown that when Gabbert has time, he is able to move the offense. Thus the biggest thing to take advantage of could be a lack of pass rush
To confirm, San Diego is 28th in sacks. On a national stage, I predict that this will be a breakout game for Gabbert. Simply because of the lack of pressure
he had hours to throw because he is always a threat to run and catch a Defensive End flat-footed

Some of it had to do with stopping the run with Tebow back there
But a lot of it had to with the fact that they sacked at rushing the passer, have no speed on the DL, and can’t get off blocks. If we have a patient offense and gameplan, we could dominate, just maybe not have a lot of points to show for it.
Should be a good test for our WRs

Did you guys see/hear Gabbert on Sound FX?
When JDR benched him, he was pissed. I mean, not that getting benched is something to celebrate obviously. But still, I think Gabbert will have a fire under him over that. Hopefully it goes that way, and not the other way where the possibility of being sat is in the back of his head the whole time.

Haslem was another big injury
and the local kid who played at Green Bay is not really doing anything of note.

the thing that I got out of that was that no one had answers only "Hang in there, Broham"
Perhaps with Dirk on the sidelines Blaine will finally get direct NFL calibur coaching. Dirk was on the sidelines with Garrard last year, correct?

If our CB's don't get exposed,
I fully expect us to win this game. Basically don’t let Vincent Jackson beat you over the top and don’t let Gates beat you in the redzone.
San Diego is pressing big time
This game could be like the one we played against Tennessee in their place last year where everyone knew Fisher was good as gone and it showed on the field. We have absolutely nothing to lose and if this makes sense, our defense won’t be as awestruck as it was last year when we played in San Diego.
I think the window shut for San Diego and for some reason Rivers throwing motion looks more abbreviated than normal as if he’s hiding an injury.

not so sure
There will almost definitely be a coaching change, perhaps even a locale change. Ryan Mathews hasn’t proven jack, Gates seems like he gained 40 pounds, which foot injuries will do that to you. Their line is a huge issue, especially if Dielman does not come back. That apparently was a very severe concussion. Seizures aren’t normal with concussions.

I'm as optimistic as the next guy, but 38 points?

He was going to, but the approval meeting is Tuesday in NY, so he's going there and...
he said the MNF is about the Weaver Family and Mel Tucker.
Tania Ganguli tweeted it.

he's aware of the t shirts

I saw that...
Tania has a link to Khans statement, he says he is excited by the great response he’s gotten from the fans, including the Tshirts, and that Wayne had told him the and would be really supportive.
Fidelis Ad Mortem
I just read his statement on jaguars.com....
Here is the link:
http://www.jaguars.com/news/article-1/Khan-on-Monday-night-game/2a5fb083-03e4-4293-b3fd-19baaa19f098
I think he sounds sincere, but i am always a half full glass type of guy!
I really feel excited...
I think this could be a huge point in our franchise history. Wayne created and nurtured the team, but as someone pointed out, the fans had gotten sort of “stale” – and let’s be honest, Wayne is a nice man, but not a dynamic personality. Khan could be a huge force in this community, and he has much dieter pockets than Wayne did.
I am really, really excited!
Fidelis Ad Mortem
Ha! True...
but from what Ive read, Flex and Gate pulls down serious money per year.
Fidelis Ad Mortem
He takes in four $760 million bills every year

I sincerely appreciate Wayne Weaver’s invitation to me and my family to join him for Monday night’s game against San Diego. I was ready for some football.
However, the best thing that evening is for me to be in New York to focus on the NFL Finance Committee’s meeting scheduled on Tuesday. And, above all, I feel that Monday night should be about three important people in the Jaguars family – Mel Tucker and, of course, Wayne and Delores Weaver. Mel and Wayne and Delores each fully deserve our love, attention and enthusiastic support on Monday night. This moment is for them.
The Jacksonville community has been simply terrific since our announcement on Tuesday, and my entire family is extremely appreciative. I am aware of the supportive letters, calls, emails, Tweets and even T-shirts, and your kindness is truly appreciated. It’s exactly what Wayne promised us when we expressed our commitment to Jacksonville and the Jaguars, and I can’t wait to finally meet everyone in person later this month. In the meantime … Go Jaguars!

Has anyone else thoguht about this? Think it would make a good story
I think the new owner is going to be a man that is willing to open up the checkbook for new talent. He is going to want to make a name for himself fast by getting a championship as soon as possible. Which means free agents and high profile guys. Anyone else been thinking about this?
Actually yes. Read my post in FanPosts called: What’s Next for the Jaguars?
It's All good!
