Don Coryell and the Chargers have revolutionized offensive football in this
decade.  Note that both Super Bowl teams last year used what is basically
the Coryell offense.  But for the offense to function  the Chargers require
exceptional athletes in the skill positions.  For several years the Chargers
had these athletes and consistently finished ahead of the more poorly coached
teams such as Denver.  
	Injuries and poor ownership decimated the Chargers over the past 
couple of years.  Finally however the Chargers are healthy with Fouts, Winslow
Joiner and Chandler all active.  New owner Alex Spanos has spent money in
acquiring players from the USFL.  There is even some sort of defensive
proficiency developing (though true-blooded Charger fans wouldn't admit it)

It's not a fluke the Charger's are back... talk to you Monday.
