San Diego Chargers (11-5): Great disaster near and combat very bitter: No heart will be so hardy as not to tremble.

This team has enough talent to win a Super Bowl, but somehow their accomplishments end up falling short of the mark for strange reasons. This could be the season that they put it all together behind a

The chart below details the picks that have been groomed by Reid and his quarterback savvy staff. Only sixth round pick Andy Hall failed to develop into a legit prospect at the NFL level.

On Location: Steelers/Eagles Game Recap

With training camp wrapped up, the real story of the second preseason game is not whether the Steelers win or lose, but how in fact the players vying for positions are adapting to the game with such a limited amount of time to prepare. “We’re looking for improvement, quite frankly, in all areas” said Pittsburgh head coach Mike Tomlin.

The Philadelphia Eagles visited Heinz Field Thursday night and didn’t resemble anything close the self proclaimed “Dream Team” announced by Eagles backup quarterback Vince Young. For preseason football their was definitely a buzz surrounding both teams who have Super Bowl aspirations, the starters where going to see action for the better part of two full quarters.
