| San Diego, CA (MySportsbook) - The San Diego Chargers have named Gregory Manusky as their new defensive coordinator. Manusky takes over for Ron Rivera, who was named as the new head coach of the Panthers earlier this week. From 2007-10, Manusky ran San Francisco's 3-4 defense. In 2009, the 49ers' defense did not allow a touchdown in five separate games and forced an NFL- best 21 fumbles, while allowing just 3.6 yards per rush and sacking opposing quarterbacks 44 times.

Cromartie, in his first season with the Jets after four with the San Diego Chargers, took exception to Brady pointing in the direction of New York's sideline after throwing a late touchdown pass in New England's 45-3 rout on Dec. 6. ``I mean, everybody's seen the film,'' he said. ``Everybody's seen the tape (of him) pointing and |

SAN DIEGO (AP) - Rich Bisaccia has been hired by the San Diego Chargers to coach their special teams.

New York's victory earned the Bolts a second-round pick in April's draft per the terms of the offseason between the clubs involving cornerback Antonio Cromartie. It's a verdict the Jets can certainly live with, especially after |
