    Not sure if anyone posted, but he is out for 8 weeks with an ankle injury. Anyways I don't know who his back up since he has pretty much been the starter the last 3 years. Maybe the Dolphins can exploit the middle and get to Rivers.

    Here is the rest of the practice report

    Not only does that affect the Center's play, but the entire line's chemistry...

    ESPECIALLY off the snap as it messes with the timing of the snap. Remember how bad our line looked in pass pro i game one vs the Falcons? Well a lot of that, apparently, was Jake Grove snapping the ball inconsistently so the rest of the line couldn;t get off the ball properly. It resulted in Jake Long getting put on his arse, for example.

    So, hopefully Hardwick's back up struggles a bit with timing. That would REALLY help our speedy edge rushers.

    That said, its a Chargers home game so that'll mean they can probably hear the snap counts easily. We had to go on a silent count in atlanta.
