CHARGER REPORT CARD

C-: QUARTERBACKS

If the Falcons Sky Diving Team had the kind of aim John Friesz had in the first half, the West Coast would have been littered with misguided parachutists.

F: RUNNING BACKS

A sluggish Marion Butts ran like a man who enjoyed Thanksgiving Day dinner and all the leftovers. Ronnie Harmon’s fumble caps a go-nowhere night for the Chargers’ offense.

C-: RECEIVERS

Fans entering stadium received calendar that included photo of Anthony Miller with the ball in his hands. Obviously, the photo was staged. Kitrick Taylor shows up big.

F: OFFENSIVE LINE

Friesz gets sacked, Butts gets mugged, holding call wipes out a touchdown, Eric Moten is no longer in starting lineup and Washington is in line to get the No. 3 or No. 4 pick in the draft.

D: DEFENSIVE LINE

A full parking lot forced police to close entrances to the stadium. Or were they just trying to keep these guys from getting in?

C: LINEBACKERS

Junior Seau keeps fans in the stands until the very end. Leslie O’Neal isn’t going to the Pro Bowl, but that hasn’t stopped him from taking an early vacation.

C+: DEFENSIVE BACKS

If Jay Schroeder can’t pick apart these guys, it’s time to warm up Todd Marinovich. Donald Frank looks right at home--on the bench. Anyone notice how well Sam Seale’s playing?

F: SPECIAL TEAMS

You watch John Daly hit golf balls and then you watch John Kidd punt the ball and you realize all athletes are not created equally. Fans in Denver gotta like John Carney.

F: COACHING

You’ve heard those rumors about Arizona State being interested in Al Luginbill? So how come he was standing on the Chargers sideline? You don’t think . . . no, no way.
