It just seems like Rivers could make him a player similar to (but to a lesser degree) what P. Manning did for J. Thomas. But I guess he didn't show enough in the Off-Season or Pre-Season to give the Team much confidence which is a little surprising to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He still has value as a short yardage/ red zone threat. But not much else. He was never an amazing blocker and at this point will probably be a liability in the run game.

tom cody Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 No surprise to see this. Be interesting if Gates can help lead the Chargers to any glory this yr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virgil Green will still take the majority of the snaps at TE. The fact that he's a fantastic blocker, and seemed to have developed good chemistry with Rivers (in practice at least) ensures that he will be TE1 with Hunter Henry out for the season. Gates will probably be used sparingly due to his age and complete lack of ability to help the blocking game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargers Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 It's the best thing to happen, Virgil Green was awful in preseason. Also note that Henry was put on the PUP and it looks like the coaching staff is holding out hope for late Decemember return(some 7 months after a ACL tear) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did quite well with Rivers as the QB. Virgil is the TE1 on this team currently. The TE position also only had two players. All Gates does is add additional depth.

Sugashane Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Not sure how much he has left but damn glad when he re-signed it was with LAC. After so long I don't care to see him in someone else's helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelKing728 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 38 years old? I don't understand. He sounds just like the type of player that Jon Gruden would give a 5 year contract to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
