Chargers Sign Linebacker Troy Reeder | State Of The LB Position: The Los Angeles Chargers added to their linebacker signing former Ram and Brandon Staley pupil Troy Reeder after letting Kyzir White walk. Another linebacker is in the mix, but how strong is the unit headlined by Kenneth Murray and Drue Tranquill? Reeder brings a familiarity and some ability on special teams, but seems brought in to provide depth. Former 1st round pick Murray recently went under the knife to fix a nagging ankle injury. Could this move be an insurance policy for Murray? What does the rest of the Chargers linebacker room look like? Will Drue Tranquill improve his play?

This weekend was a wild one and the Chargers got to take a look at four of their head coaching candidates in playoff action.

Brandon Staley Back on the Mic: On today's show it's all about Chargers head coach Brandon Staley! Staley spoke with the media on Thursday and gave us insight on a hole at left tackle, what he wants in a cornerback and the roles of Jerry Tillery and Nasir Adderley. Staley was asked many questions about the offensive line and we breakdown his thoughts on needing to add a left tackle, Trey Pipkins development and a special plan for Bryan Bulaga to try and keep him healthy. The Secondary plays such a huge role in Staley's defense and he told us that Nasir Adderley is exactly the type of safety they're looking for. We also get into how much he covets man-to-man coverage skills from his defensive backs, as well as the ability to tackle.
