Mettenberger facing former team: QB Zach Mettenberger didn’t have the best numbers when he played his first two years for the Titans; Mettenberger threw for a Completion Percentage of 60.3%, had 12 TDs and 14 INTs. Zach has an opportunity to make a statement tonight to his former team and the Chargers, especially since QB Mike Bercovici has been looking great during Chargers Training Camp.

Philon in starting DE position/Emanuel in OLB Position: With Joey Bosa still on his holdout. There are 2 possible spots that he could have been starting at, most likely DE, but possibly OLB. We should pay close attention to the progress DE Darius Philon has made during this training camp and how he performs tonight, as we have heard about his great progress. Also, lookout for OLB Kyle Emanuel, who passed up OLB Jeremiah Attaochu this training camp on the depth chart. If DE Philon/OLB Emmanuel don’t miss a beat, then it could put more pressure on the Bosa camp to focus on football and not money.

Seeing Coach Whiz’s offense again: Kevin Whisenhunt is back as the OC in San Diego. Last time, Whiz helped bring Philip back to form, following the Norv Era. With Whiz back, we must pay attention to how he integrates the two back system with a fullback and how he may set up Melvin Gordon for success. Look to see FB Derek Watt in the strong power I formation with Melvin Gordon. Using a guy like Watt as the lead blocker could do big things for the Chargers running game. Also, pay attention to see how Whiz incorporates a two tight end set with Gates and Hunter Henry. TE Jeff Cumberland and TE Sean McGrath will also have big roles in the running game as tight ends.

Special Teams: We had a terrible Kick Return last year in part to WR Jacoby Jones’ efforts. Look for who may be the leading KR/PR for our bolts. We are hoping to see continued glimpses of improvement from last year with RB Branden Oliver. It could be interesting to possibly see WR Travis Benjamin involved in any returns, look for that as well.

Players to watch for:

RB Branden Oliver – BO has had an amazing camp so far and could really make a huge impact this year even as a 3rd string back. Lookout for his confidence and speed on the field. Could be a marathon for BO tonight as he will face the 2nd/3rd string Titans Defense.

The Free Agent Pickups: S Dwight Lowery, NT Brandon Mebane, WR Travis Benjamin, C/G Matt Slauson, CB Casey Hayward – These guys should ALL have huge impacts for this team. Lookout for these new face tonight and the next preseason games.

These guys should ALL have huge impacts for this team. Lookout for these new face tonight and the next preseason games. Draft picks – TE Hunter Henry, LB Joshua Perry, LB Jatavis Brown – Hunter Henry is your rookie to watch tonight on offense. Not only is he being mentored by Antonio Gates, but he could be our Tight End for years to come. Hunter is extremely talented; it is very exciting to have a guy like him on your team. Jatavis Brown could be seen in the 1st and 2nd string crew tonight, with LB Denzel Perryman being limited in practice as of late. Pay attention to this hard hitting Linebacker. Also, Look for how Joshua Perry performs tonight, he is lower than Brown on the depth chart as of NOW, but he has great potential to emerge as a pivotal player for the Chargers.
