--The Chargers have been busy in welcoming in potential players as the draft draws nears. Among those expected to break bread with the Chargers are: S William Moore (Missouri), LB Rey Maualuga (USC), DT Ziggy Hood (Missouri), DT Tyson Jackson (LSU) and DT Jarron Gilbert (San Jose State).
--The Chargers are hopeful S Clinton Hart can bounce back after a so-so season. Hart's season was derailed after he broke his hand in the second game. And he heard his detractors before eventually losing his starting job. "Nobody is more critical of my play than I am," he said. "I had a lot of swagger and confidence in 2007. I wasn't out there hurt. I believed I could tackle with the best of them, cover the best tight ends and do my job. For some reason, 2008 wasn't that way. It was a tough year and I know I have to be better than that."
--The San Diego City Attorney is contemplating drunken driving charges against DT Jamal Williams, who was arrested in February.
--The Chargers' preseason opponents, with the actual dates to follow: Seattle, at Arizona, at Atlanta and San Francisco. The game at Atlanta will be nationally televised by CBS on Aug. 29.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "My mind is fresh. I think my body is as young as anybody's here. My work ethic is just as good as anybody's here." -- SS Clinton Hart, on why he thinks he can rebound after a disappointing 2008 season.
