Recap Preseason Game 3: Chargers vs Cardinals

The Chargers' offense continued to look good in the preseason and I am especially impressed with Rivers, who continues to prove himself as a top-notch NFL qb. He, with the young Charger receivers, played into the 3rd quarter which one could only think will only improve their timing with each other. Gates looked solid, blocking looked good as both Micheal Turner and Darren Sproles had several impressive runs.

But now to the flip side...the Charger defense, especially the secondary, looked really shaky. Giving up several big passing plays. Merriman, although I didn't see how much he was playing, wasn't much of an impact. Quentin Jammer continues to look very beatable and even the Chargers #1 DB from last year, Cromartie, missed an easy tackle and was out-played on at least one pass defense. Hopefully the Chargers' coaching staff is keeping their defensive schemes under wraps during the preseason as to not alert other teams their defensive game-plan before the season even begins.

It is preseason so nothing really matters. The last preseason game for the Chargers will be this Thursday vs the 49ers.
