Good morning.

Judson Richards and Nick Hardwick talked with San Diego Chargers general manager Tom Telesco in this interview.

Telesco was asked how the Chargers would replace an injured Keenan Allen. Telesco said his team would look from the outside to replace Allen’s production, and that it could be a season-long effort that would include street free agents, trades and poaching players from other team’s practice squads.

Telesco also said it could include looking at upgrades at all positions on offense.

“It’s something we’re going to have to really look at, and it’s something that could evolve a lot as we move throughout the season,” Telesco said. “And it may not just be at the receiver spot. It could be a tight end or a back and see how we’re going to put this thing together. But there is a way to win, and there’s still a way to move the ball without Keenan. It’s not going to be as easy, but we can still do it.”

Telesco went on to say he thought the offensive line did a good job in pass protection and the run game. Telesco also said he thought the defensive line played well, and that he doesn’t expect any lingering issues with Joey Bosa’s hamstring.

And he said practice was spirited and more physical than a Wednesday practice, and guys are preparing to get after Jacksonville on Sunday.

“You can’t let the last game beat you twice,” Telesco said. “That’s the big thing. We weren’t happy with the loss last week, but you can’t lose the focus on the next game.”

My take: It’s good that the Chargers are taking a big-picture approach to finding personnel for the offense to remain efficient in Allen’s absence. In talking with players this week, they appear focused on Jacksonville, putting the loss to the Kansas City Chiefs behind them.

Fred Maas, stadium adviser for the Chargers, addressed comments by former Chargers general manager A.J. Smith that the team is not going anywhere -- even if the stadium initiative does not pass – in this interview with Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune.

Maas said if a stadium deal does not happen in downtown San Diego, the Chargers are headed to L.A. Maas went on to say the only reason he got involved in the process was the commitment by Chargers Chairman Dean Spanos to try and make something work in San Diego.

“I can tell you unequivocally that the only option other than Measure C is a departure to Los Angeles … I’ve seen the deal there, and I will tell you that if it were you, me or any other reasonable person, we’d be looking for a house on the west side of Los Angeles,” Maas said.

My take: Those are strong statements by Maas, who has been frank and straight forward about his and the team’s intentions throughout this process.

Tom Krasovic of The San Diego Union-Tribune writes about fullback Derek Watt’s welcome to the NFL in his first real game as a pro. Chargers offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt said after a rocky start, Watt was solid.

My take: Blocking NFL linebackers is much different than playing in the Big Ten at Wisconsin. Watt should be improved in his second week after getting used to the speed of the game in Week 1.

Nick Hardwick sits down with Chargers defensive tackle Brandon Mebane to talk about his impact on San Diego’s defense and also his time with the Seattle Seahawks in this video.

My take: One thing of note that Mebane mentions here is the Chargers are giving him more of an opportunity to play different spots along the line of scrimmage, which has freed the Cal product up to show that he can still rush the passer.
