Defensive Workouts during summer and 7 on 7

The defense for the Chargers will start holding workouts for each position every Wednesday until two a days which start August 15th. The chargers look to start getting prepared for the upcoming season with players working with their position coaches. The first workout for the defense was held this past Wednesday as players and coaches were working on their conditioning, stance, get offs, and plays. Players were really excited about getting back on the field with their coaches and getting ready for the upcoming season. The Wednesday workouts are held at Briar Cliff at the practice and are ran by Defensive Coordinator Kyle Langhoff, Secondary Coach Keith Chapman, and Linebackers Coach Spetlar Tonga. Team captain Eric Bolin feels it’s a great thing having a team work out over the summer with coaches and players. “I usually go in and do a little workout every Wednesday since it’s are day off, but its good getting together with the guys and learning new things with are coaches, and with some freshman coming to the workouts to working with them is also a good thing.” The chargers will also have 7 on 7 dates posted in front of McCoy which will be held in July.
