Boardregeln » DE Isaac Rochell Hopes to Reap Rewards

of a Revamped Lifestyle Following the end of the team’s three-day minicamp Russell Okung Jersey , second-year DE Isaac Rochell sat down with Ricky Henne of Chargers.com to talk about his experiences from the past year and how he feels going into the 2018 season.Rochell admitted that he has been frustrated with himself about spending most of last season on the practice squad instead of playing on Sundays. But instead of staying down on himself, he has taken the lead on changing his lifestyle and outlook for the better, hoping it turns into a better season that includes an increase in playing time and success.According to Rochell, he was at his heaviest last season when he weighted around 280 pounds. Right now http://www.thechargerslockerroom.com/authentic-kyle-emanuel-jersey , he claims to be closer to 265 pounds. After swtiching to a plant-based diet and adding yoga into his weekly regimen, he feels lighter, leaner, and faster than ever.He told Henne Womens Forrest Lamp Jersey , “I just feel better now. When you do yoga and you stretch and you eat right, and you’re doing things to help your body out, you’re able to get in positions that you didn’t know you can get in and you’re not thinking about it. You’re just playing. It just happens.”Rochell played in just three games in 2017. He collected four total tackles with two coming against the New York Jets where he collected a sack of quarterback Bryce Petty and another tackle-for-loss.With the loss of Chris McCain as the third rotational pass rusher, the door is wide open for Rochell to claim the role. Here’s to hoping that body transformation is just what he needed to propel his game to the next level. Chargers running back Melvin Gordon is headed into the final year of the contract he signed as a 2015 first-round pick and that means there will be questions about a contract extension this offseason.General Manager Tom Telesco fielded one of them at a Thursday press conference from the Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. He said an extension is something they’ll consider Mike Williams Jersey , but that there isn’t a timetable to get it wrapped up.“I thought he had a great year and was highly productive for us this year,” Telesco said. “He’s a three-down back and puts a lot of balls in the end zone for us, a lot of touchdowns. He’s a great player. We’ve got him and a number of other guys that will look at extending at some point. I don’t have a timetable on those guys, but we’ve gotten to the point if we’re going to say our philosophy is to draft http://www.thechargerslockerroom.com/authentic-darius-philon-jersey , develop and re-sign, we want to extend those guys we’d like to have back long-term. But I don’t have a timetable on anything like that.”Gordon is likely OK with waiting at least a few weeks to open discussions with the Chargers. He said in January that he is “sitting back waiting” to see what happens with Le'Veon Bell before pondering his own contractual future. With the new league year opening on March 13, it shouldn’t be too long before there’s word on Bell’s deal.
