If you thought a veteran like Eric Weddle would hate having to scrimmage against another team this early in the offseason, you thought wrong. When asked what he didn’t like about Thursday’s joint practice with the Chargers, Weddle simply responded, “Nothing.”
“I could do this every day,” Weddle said after practice. “I love competing, love proving yourself, showing yourself and getting ready for the regular season. It was incredible work for us.”
One of the team’s newest acquisitions in Los Angeles, Weddle enjoyed practicing against his new crosstown rival. “It was fun, fun competition.”
Entering his 13th NFL season, Weddle certainly knows what it takes to get ready for a season. He had nothing but praise for the practice session against his former employer. “It was two great teams, great coaches, run their teams the right way and we got great work out of it.”
Many of Weddle’s teammates from his days in San Diego are no longer with the team. But his old quarterback, Phillip Rivers, is still slinging passes for the Chargers. Or, at least he will be in the regular season.
“We didn’t get much action from him today,” Weddle said regarding his old signal caller. “It’s all right though.”
That didn’t stop Weddle from catching up with his former quarterback. According to Weddle, the two talked about “a little of everything.”
Rivers and Weddle fought many battles together during their nine years together with the Chargers, including an AFC championship appearance in 2007. Weddle and his new team have a bit higher aspirations than that. Today’s practice was a small step towards achieving the team’s ultimate goal.
