Potential mismatch for Sunday's game.

It's early in the season so things can change quickly, but the Chargers special teams DVOA is currently dead last in the NFL at -18.6% and the Seahawks rank 3rd at 9.3%. In a game that seems somewhat evenly matched this could be a big wildcard for the game.

GO GOLDEN TATE!

That's very well done MFAN

Hopefully between Tate and Leon we can set ourselves up for some awesome field position

I think we can exploit this as well

I would love to see the field Position Battle won this will win us the game.

Fade routes to Deion Branch only work against Kelly Jennings

I would love to see

Some screen passes to washington/butler/tate/branch/force. I keep waiting for it but it hasn’t happened yet.

How much of that is because of Mare?

A lot of it.

Currently leading the leauge in FO’s Kick coverage metric.

But be wary of sample size. We played at home and in thin air. Golden Tate and Walter Thurmond have given us very good returns, showing what they’re capable of, but it’s unreasonable to expect it with consistency. Thurmond muffed a catch last week. KC gashed SD on punt returns, but over the course of the season most teams are likely to get gashed here and there.
