                Ok I see this is real, not bad really. Also jus saw this.

                Over an hour ago - LB Kion Wilson, a member of the practice squad, is beginning the process of becoming a fullback. “Coach [Norv Turner] asked me to transition to a fullback,” Wilson said. “He sees me becoming one of the regular players one day.” Chargers RapidReports

                Now that merits a Squee!! Hell yea I look forward to watching this project and I guess this means Tolbert is a RB primarily then FB.

                        J.T. O'Sullivan lands in San Diego

                        Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on September 6, 2010 6:30 PM ET
                        One of the quieter, surprising moves of the last few days was when the Bengals' released backup quarterback J.T. O'Sullivan.

                        JTO was no great shakes in Cincinnati, but the Bengals are showing a lot of confidence in Jordan Palmer by giving him the backup job. (Or they are simply admitting they are screwed if Jordan's brother gets hurt, so it doesn't really matter.)

                        We thought O'Sullivan had a chance to land in Chicago with Mike Martz, but there wasn't any room for him there. San Diego found a space for him, though, signing O'Sullivan on Monday.

                        Billy Volek missed practice Monday according to the San Diego Union-Tribune, which probably necessitated the move. Linebacker Shawne Merriman also missed work Monday and seems uncertain to play after missing the last few weeks with an Achilles injury.

                                Dude - the guy is a QUARTERBACK.

                                I'd say you went over your toke limit.

                                        Did I really need one of these :lol: after the first line?

                                        Jeezus Trump. :lol:


                                        But, it is gonna be a helluva season. And we're only going as far as our defense takes us anyways. So I don't really give a shiit who they sign on offense.

                                            and a ****** quarterback at that, no matter he won't see the field in meaningful scenarios. Oh, and there is no toke limit, unless he's adding **** to his bowl.

                                                    Stupid signing.

                                                    Your 3rd QB should be a young developmental guy, not a 31yr old scrub who's been on 9 different teams.

                                                        Before this signing the third QB was David Binn.

                                                        Any rate, this might be a testament to Volek's health.

                                                                I'm fine with the spot being left open, not every team in the NFL carries 3 QBs.

                                                                If we get three deep I'd rather see us convert to the wildcat with Naanee at QB.

Also I been callin for my boy to get more looks in practice at qb. Tho that was before he was one of 4 active starters at WR. Id like to see him continue his progress up the depth chart through production.

It will set up a more interesting battle for the number two slot next year. All three candidates will know the system and have an equal shot.
