Show notes
Los Angeles Chargers rookie Akheem Mesidor dazzles at training camp, using a lethal spin move to break past top tackle Joe Alt and signal he’s ready for the NFL spotlight. Are the Chargers’ young edge rushers poised to transform their pass rush this season? Daniel Wade and David Droegemeier break down Mesidor’s breakthrough performance, the veteran dominance of Khalil Mack and Tuli Tuipulotu, and the intense fight for roster spots among up-and-comers Kyle Kennard and undrafted standout Nadame Tucker.
The show spotlights Chargers defensive improvements, with Mack still winning “get-off” competitions at 35, Tuipulotu’s explosive return to drills, and glowing coach reviews of Tucker’s relentless play. Can the latest additions help the Bolts’ edge group go five deep—and will youth win out over experience as roster choices loom? Get the latest insights on positional battles, breakout candidates, and how Jim Harbaugh’s culture shift is driving competition in Los Angeles.
