Bryan just had a 103 yd kickoff return for a TD. Nice run.

You've got to scroll down now because more game highlights were added on time. I have to say, that was as slow a kickoff return TD I think I've ever seen. I hope he sticks, though.

The San Diego Radio call of the play has been getting some airtime on Sirius NFL Radio today. "Go Big Red, Go Cornell". I'll look around later this weekend to see if I can find the link to that.

I didn't expect this thread to run so long. Guess it's about time to get his name right. Trotsky - does three edits for a twelve word post set the record?

For all my snark up thread, I am really happy for Walters and for Cornell. Sorry that he has to play for Norv, though. No good comes of playing for Norv Turner.

I did a fantasy football team for the firs time, because some friends needed another team to make it even. I think it's a stupid hobby (no offense), so I couldn't help taking the opportunity to pick Bryan Walters as the last pick. Wouldn't surprise me at all if he becomes a decent slot receiver, though. He seems to catch the the ball when it comes to him and supposedly he runs good routes. If he is willing to get hit, he has all the traits needed at that position.
Now if only I could have found a way to draft Kevin Boothe.

Nice start to the season: Walters was the Chargers' only punt returner (though he didn't do anything all that interesting on paper; longest return was 13 yards) and had two catches for 21 yards in a 24-17 win.

Week two not as good (in categories that show up in the boxscore). 1 catch for 6 yards and one punt return for -2 yards in a 35-21 loss to the Patriots.

I didn't watch the game, but from the box score it looks like Walters didn't have much opportunity to impress. The Pats only punted twice, and one was downed at the Chargers' 6 yard line, and he was only thrown to twice. I don't think you can draw any conclusions from this (though those who saw the game might have more to say). Next weekend the Chargers play the Chiefs, who kind of suck and just lost their best running back, and will probably be punting more often, so perhaps Walters will have more opportunity to show what he can do.ugarte

Might as well make this the general "Alumni in the NFL" thread.
There is an article in today's WSJ about Kevin Boothe stepping in to be the Giants' starting center this weekend. [online.wsj.com]

And confirmed on NFL Radio. Baas (sp) is listed as "out" for this week.

Walters with no targets, no returns. If he's hurt I haven't heard about it. I fear he has fallen off the radar in SD.
Someone who watched the game can report on Boothe's play.

On Giants' final drive with < 2min on clock and NY driving deep in red zone trailing by about 4, it appeared Kevin missed a snap count causing a 5 yard penalty. On next play, Manning gets intercepted and run back for a TD. Snap count error might get some blame because there was enough time on the clock to run the ball, but penalty yardage caused the pass play call.

Pretty much the whole O-line, Boothe included, played like crap on Sunday.TimV

Is Walters not playing? Has he been replaced as the regular punt returner? SD has Crayton returning punts against Jets, and he's been terrible.
Also, according to Mike Garafalo at the Star-Ledger, fans are wondering why Boothe doesn't take David Diehl's starting spot at left guard when Chris Snee returns to right guard after the bye this week. The reporters even asked the coaches about it. I think it was Coughlin who said that Boothe is too valuable as a backup because he can play all five positions with no notice.

The reason we haven't seen Bryan Walters on the stat sheet is because he hasn't played since week 3. He was cut on Halloween but resigned to the practice squad two days later.
