[URL]http://www.chargers.com/news/2015/08/06/stable-veteran-backfield[/URL] >>Meanwhile, there is a fourth horse in the Bolts’ stable of talented backs that doesn’t get the same publicity. Donald Brown’s first year in San Diego didn’t go as he had hoped. A concussion suffered Week 5 against the New York Jets forced him to miss about a month which set him back the rest of the year, finishing with 85 carries for 223 yards along with a career-high 29 receptions for 211 yards. “You just have to learn from it,” he said. “The good, the bad and the indifferent. No matter what, just keep moving forward. I’m certainly a lot more comfortable this year. I know the system much better this go around and I just feel really comfortable out there.”Heading into 2015, Brown hopes to return to his 2013 form in which he averaged 5.3 yards per carry. Showing strong burst, great vision and fresh legs over the first week of training camp, he figures to play a valuable role in the team’s deep backfield.<< >>Head Coach Mike McCoy firmly believes in a committee approach, and likes what he’s seen from the veteran thus far in camp. While it will be a fight for touches, each day Brown proves why he’ll have a role this season. “I think you know he got dinged last year, unfortunately, early in the year. He’s a true professional and worked extremely hard. He’s one of those guys that worked so hard to get back to 100%, and really is. He’s made the most out of his opportunities out on the football field. We’re going to play a lot of guys, and he understands that and it doesn’t matter. I know we drafted Melvin, but he understands what we’re going to do and how we’re going to play the game here. (I’m) looking forward to him having a big year for us and helping us win in a number of different ways.”<< More in the article [/QUOTE]
