Gman329 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Max Starks has been cut by the Chargers. He's 31, started all 16 games for the Steelers last year. I know SD's OL has been terrible in preseason and obviously, Starks is part of that but this guy was a long time solid fixture on the Steelers OL right up to last year. Has he gone down hill that quickly? Hard to believe he wouldn't be better than what I saw from Brewer at OT last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sephiroth Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 W need a solid backup, and Starks would provide that. I'd be for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gman329 Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 Hmmmmm, then again, maybe not..... http://www.utsandieg...iners-chargers/ Max Starks had a bad night Thursday. Worse, the game film provided no relief on Friday. There were no gaffes by other Chargers backups that compromised Starks in pass protection. It was simple: 49ers edge rushers whipped the left tackle in four one-on-one matchups over a span of eight dropbacks Thursday night. None of those 49ers are starters. The breakdowns came in all flavors--speed rushes to both sides and a bull rush that rocked the 6-foot-8, 345-pounder. Beyond the three sacks, Starks allowed a hit on Charlie Whitehurst that led to a 49ers touchdown off an interception. All of the hits came in 2.6 seconds or under. Whitehurst is lucky to have survived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
