SAN DIEGO – Dexter McCoil executed what he’s coached to do.
During red zone drills for the San Diego Chargers, receiver Isaiah Burse brought in a pass across the middle and McCoil lined him up, lowered his shoulder and drilled Burse, separating the ball and plowing Burse to the turf.
The hit drew some “oohs” from the crowd -- the first real hit witnessed during two days of otherwise tame practices in full pads for the Chargers. Offensive tackle Tyreek Burwell, running back Danny Woodhead and other players on offense were upset by the hit. Burwell came to the defense of his teammate.
