"They told me there was going to be competition,Cheap Shoes China Free Shipping, that I would definitely have to earn it," Dunlap said. "Same way it was in Philly last year — you come in and there is competition and let the game tape and practice tape decide who wins."
Starks agrees.
"They're done a good job upstairs bringing guys in that can play football,Nike Air Max Scontate, bring in good depth behind us, because you know inevitably, somebody's going to get hurt," Hardwick said. "It's not a matter of if, it's when, so somebody's got to be willing to step up and be capable of stepping up and they've done a nice job of doing that."
Center Nick Hardwick is the only offensive lineman returning in his original position. Jeromey Clary is back, but he's being moved from right tackle to right guard. Rookie D.J. Fluker, the Chargers' first-round draft pick, is the starting right tackle. The left guard will be new, and Chad Rinehart is listed as the starter on the first official depth chart.
The Eagles allowed 48 sacks last year. Michael Vick was dropped 28 times and Nick Foles, 20.
Dunlap feels the same way.
Starks helped the Steelers win two Super Bowls, starting at right tackle against Seattle in 2006 and at left tackle against Arizona in 2009. He was on injured reserve with a neck injury when the Steelers lost to Green Bay in the 2011.
Starks expected to have to compete for the job and knows the battle will be decided during the exhibition season, which starts at home Thursday night against Seattle.
"I can never be satisfied. I've got to find something to get better at every day," he said. "I guess from what I've been told I've had a good camp. I just have to come out here and work hard every day and watch the film and correct my technique."
Hardwick said what matters is how quickly every player learns to communicate with each other and understands his assignment,Cheap Old Skool Vans For Sale.
Keeping Rivers in one piece is imperative. He was sacked 49 times last year and committed 22 turnovers, many because he was under siege behind a leaky line.
Starks and Dunlap are considered big upgrades over Jared Gaither, who was released due to his questionable work ethic.
Regardless of who ends up protecting his blind side,David Robinson Jersey, Rivers thinks the offensive line "has meshed so well together, so quickly. You've only got one guy from the same position as a year ago, but they have come along super quick. And that is what we need."
Former Chargers star running back LaDainian Tomlinson visited camp late last month and said that Rivers being sacked 49 times last year "is way too many for your franchise quarterback."
SAN DIEGO (AP) — King Dunlap or Max Starks,Nike Air Max Rebajas?
He played every offensive snap for the Steelers last year despite tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during Pittsburgh's playoff loss at Denver the previous season.
Dunlap was signed the opening day of free agency, March 12. Starks was signed two months later.
Starks hasn't been given the inside track even though he won two Super Bowl rings during his nine seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Starks has started 96 of 123 regular-season games played and made eight starts in 10 playoff games.
Hardwick said there are challenges in having new guys playing next to each other, "but as long as we come out and we are getting after it t it out here — individual period is a grind like I haven't seen in 10 years — we are working. We're getting after it and the D line is making us a better group because we have some D linemen who are studs. They're forcing us to be better and it's coming together in a hurry. It has to."
Dunlap, who played both left and right tackle in four seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, has gotten the majority of snaps with the first team so far in training camp.
He said it doesn't matter if he's not working with the first team, "As long as I know that my communication is strong with whoever my left guard is and my technique is strong and I'm executing the blocks and beating the guys in front of me. That's all that matters."
He feels he's showed "That I'm capable of being a starting left tackle. Coming from another team ... a new team, a new place, a new head coach, it's definitely refreshing."

"You think about him getting sacked 49 times, I think obviously they're not running the ball efficiently,Sac ?? Dos Kanken Soldes," Starks said.
