Chargers sign Frank "the tank" Summers

some have said spending a 4th round ppick on a punter was a waste of a pick, but really no more than this one (or thad gibson) was.

relatively speaking, we got alot of mileage out of our punter for cheap.

good luck to frank. SD seems to be a place where he will get a chance to succeed as opposed to rotting away on the steelers roster.

i think we defintely need to improve from round 4 on. we got some good picks but then we have some guys that never had a chance...i mean i guess david johnson is panning out well for a 7th rounder :~ good luck to frank.

Sweet! This opens up a spot for a FB Pick, like Hynoski!

Frank gets to go back to his home state......You know he is stoked..........San Diego living is just sensational..........I miss all the surf breaks down there.......Good luck Tank.........You gotta work hard to make it in the league......

Who cares. Frank never showed he can do anything to help an NFL team,
regardless of the reason why: work ethic, too much a tweener, just not
very good at anything - ok as blocker, ok as running, not really good
at either. This is as much news as if we lost John Jacob Jingle Heimer Smith.

Let me just try to understand the Arians logic:

He doesn't believe in having a true FB because it is a wasted spot on the roster. He stated that he would rather have a TE line up as an H-back because it allows him to have more talented players on the field. So he uses David Johnson, who lines up mostly in the backfield and acts as a poor man's FB. Over the course of 2 years, Johnson has caught 6 passes.

I have no beef with Johnson and do think he's improved as a blocker. But what the hell? He obviously isn't acting like a TE, doesn't have the receptions and seems to start in the backfield. Why not just get a true FB and get those lead blocks we expect?
