Chargers D-line will be fine

Chargers D-line in good hands with Cesaire
With San Diego DE Igor Olshansky expected to miss 3-4 weeks after knee surgery, backup Jacques Cesaire will move into the starting lineup. In my opinion Olshansky is one of the more underrated DEs in the NFL. Like most DEs in the 3-4 scheme, he doesn't get a lot of credit. He plays with excellent strength in leverage, is stout at the POA vs. the run and he has a motor that never quits. He will definitely be missed, but the Chargers because of their great depth will be able to overcome this injury.

Backup DE Jacques Cesaire is in his fourth season. He has taken a lot of reps in this defense as a backup player. He is a crafty player that knows how to play the game. He is a player who shows some quickness and can play on the edges in their 3-4 look. While not as physically dominating, because of the scheme and the players around him, don't expect the Chargers defense to skip a beat.
