Great news as the San Diego Chargers have fired Defensive Coordinator Ted Cottrell. At least they are demonstrating they aren't giving up on the season. Fans should expect much better results, or at least more exciting play, with Ron Rivera guiding the "D" now. He is noted for a much more aggressive style than the zone favored by Cottrell.
And it should be interesting in the future to follow what Rivera plans to do with the defense. He's been a 4-3 guy in the past. The Chargers have ran a 3-4 look the past few years. And how does this impact the future of Shawne Merriman in San Diego?
Time will tell...at least for now it appears the Bolts have a new life on the season.
