CHARGERS REPORT: Mike Scifres fell to ninth in the league in net average after his three punts Monday. A 71-yard punt return will do that. So will a sore groin that might be an issue for the rest of the season.

I actually think we're going to be fine. I mean, we're probably not going to win the division, but it's not like there are two teams out there that have stood out as wildcards. We're half a game out of that race, with KC and Oakland coming up. And the real bottom line here is that we looked pretty good in the first half for the first time all year. That coupled with the fact that we know we can be...

SAN DIEGO — Eddie Royal became the first player in Broncos history to return a kickoff and a punt for touchdowns in the same game, leading undefeated Denver to a wild 34-23 win over the San Diego Chargers on Monday night. The Broncos didn't get an offensive touchdown until Kyle Orton threw a 19-yard pass to tight end Tony Scheffler late in the third quarter for a 24-23 lead. Denver added a field...

Every time there's a vote on the numbers, we are subjected to seeing a name blotted out because of the words we all remember "wide left." In reviewing the post & comments, there was a blatant ommission and I believe a "re-vote" is in order. The original high vote getter was K - *** ******* Consideration should also be given to 5 year veteran (has it really been that long?) Dustin...

This week in the Finding the Winning Factors series , let's take a look at a common, but rarely looked at: Net Punting Average . This stat came about after the Colts playoff game back in January, for good reason. Mike Scifres significantly helped the Chargers , but can the punter and punt coverage be a significant factor in winning games? Here's how I calculated it: (Punt Yards - Return Yards) / Punts...

The Chargers gave him jersey No. 1. It could stand for Louie Sakoda's one chance in, say, a half-million of beating out Nate Kaeding and/or Mike Scifres. By no means is that a slam at Sakoda, a rare talent indeed, a special-teams guy who was a consensus first-team All-American as both a placekicker (2008) and punter ('07) at Utah.

Compiled by commenter bsanders. 2008 Record: 12-4, ousted in wild-card round by Darren Sproles and the robotic leg of Mike Scifres. Desperately need: DL, WR, LB. The 2008 Colts’ defensive interior gave away free third-down conversions. No upgrade there, no playoff wins in 2009. Kiper says: Peria Jerry, DT, Mississippi. Quick, penetrating DT perfect for the Tampa 2 [...]
