THURSDAY'S GAME 8/11/05
San Diego Chargers - QB Rotation: Drew Brees (1st Q), Philip Rivers (2-3 Qs), Cleo Lemon, Craig Ochs (mop up).
Marty Schottenheimer said Drew Brees probably will play the first quarter of Thursday's game, with Philip Rivers getting the next two. Cleo Lemon and possibly Craig Ochs will play the fourth quarter.
It's "not likely" RB Ladainian Tomlinson will play, Schottenheimer said. No surprise there – the All-Pro running back has only 13 carries in exhibition games during his four-year NFL career.
Green Bay Packers - QB Rotation: Brett Favre (one series), rookie Aaron Rodgers (will play into the 3rd Q), J.T. O'Sullivan (4th Q).
Favre will start but play just one series, then Rodgers probably will play at least half the game. J.T. O'Sullivan will follow Rodgers and play the rest of the game,
The Packers will get their first good look at Arron Rodgers their top draft pick and Favre's heir apparent. The Packers have been giving rookie QB Aaron Rodgers a lot of snaps in practice. They have him second behind Favre.
Nose tackle Grady Jackson remains on the physically unable to perform list.
Secondary thin. The Packers are down to five healthy cornerbacks, and unless they get projected starters Al Harris (thigh) and Joey Thomas (calf) back soon, they're going to be perilously thin at the position.
Linebackers thin.
Jim Bates is the Packers new Defensive Coordinator, their third new one in three years. The defense is running more coverages than the basic two-deep scheme of a year ago.
