There was a reason why Archie didn't want Eli to wind up in San Diego. It is poorly run. The coaching has been terrible this year, playcalling etc. His teammates didn't even look like they were trying last night, giving up on routes, half assing things. I give props to Matt for the interception but the receiver was in the endzone and wasn't even looking for the ball, at least try to fight for it.
Then you read message boards and out of all people Weddle gets blamed for not being a "playmaker" like Ed Reed or Troy P. When those guys had their best seasons, the front 7 always got tremendous pressure, they made plenty of gambles and mistakes, and were allowed to because they would make up for it, or someone else would cover it up since there were so many playmakers on the defense. Weddle doesn't have that luxury, he can't take that many gambles because they would call for his head for every mistake, yet he has 5 interceptions and leads the league in pass deflections.
There is nothing that Tolbert or Michael Bush can do that Hester can't. I know they are supposed to be powerbacks but they just look fat, maybe not as bad as Lendale White but it is still pathetic. Matthews has a little more straight line speed than Hester but can never stay healthy and doesn't have the power.
In a sane world there is no possible way Campbell gets the starting job over Palmer. I saw throws last night that Campbell could never dream of making, and Palmer just started playing in this system a few weeks ago and had been out of football for a while. He is going out there on natural talent, he probably doesn't know the entire scheme yet.
Im thinking Woodhead gets at least 10 touches like last week. Faulk has been nursing his knee injury all week.
