And I am going to wear it to the raider game. A jersey with no heart, for a player who in two years went form being called the best back ever to absolutely gutless. I can count on one hand the number of times this year that LT finished off a play, he heads straight for the sideline every opportunity he gets. He has no heart, he showed it last year in the playoffs when he didnt say a word to a single teammate in the AFC championship game, and sat with his helmet on, on the bench the whole game. Michael Turner showed today that the chargers have no clue about rating talent, they gave up a 24 year old beast in the prime of his career, to keep a heartless, gutless 30 year old speed back. everyone knows what happens to speed backs when they turn 30. Way to go Dean Spanos, and Alex Smith, for taking a team with 9 pro bowlers and giving it to Norv Turner. The chargers were favored to win it all after brady got injured, and now they are 4-8, 1 game better than the raiders. What a shame
Bring back Marty Schottenheimer..........lol:nohead:
ask Shaun Alexander..........where is he now
Shaun Alexander was released by the Redskins couple weeks ago. As for LT playing with no heart, he's not alone. Just about the entire team is playing with no heart. Fire Norv Turner and birng in someone who can motivate this team and you'll see a serious run for the SB. This team was a different beast when Schottenheimer was the hc here and no Marty Schottenheimer will never coach this team again as long as AJ Smith is here. And don't even think about hiring Bill Cowher, he won't coach here either because of AJ Smith...again. AJ Smith wants total control of the team and no good coach can work with that.
LT hasnt gotten over his injury from last year. SD should have rested him as much as possible until LT was 100% ready. Sproles can play for LT until then.
I think now it's in LT's head and he doesnt want to risk further injury on a team that just doesnt have "it" this year. LT could come back strong next year but I believe his body is just far too injuried to play right now. SD would be wise to shut him down now and let him heal. Start Sproles and find out if he's worth keeping next year.

instead of cutting it you should have covered it in butter , because he gets hit behind the line of scrimmage more then any other back in the league. Our pre season #1 ranked offensive line is plalying like #29 and has been since week#1.
Ladanian has giving us an amazing run, and has shown NOTHING but heart his whole carreer, not getting hurt EVER until last years colts game. You are complaining about Mike Turner being let go, but Mike Turner was our back in the playoffs last year who you call " a 24 year old beast in the prime of his carreer". So vs. the Pats last year tell me again why you wanted to have LT play hurt when we had a HEALTHY back in Turner?? btw Burner Turner couldnt get it done in the redzone @ NE that game.
makes NO sense.
smith and spanos are the only reason we ever had 9 pro bowlers , , were you even around when we were 2-14???? doesnt sound like it,
The players arent playing up to their capabilities and that is what it comes down too.
I would consider you a haider fan if you actually do ware a cut LT jersey anywhere. We dont need anymore frontrunning fans anyway so do what you want, real fans dont cut one of the greatest backs in NFL history and a guy that had the greatest single season for a RB with 100% class.
47 years charger season tickets have been in my family so maybe Its just me that remembers what our team was like before Ladanian Tomlison was our running back.
Maybe Spanos should have not let butler trade Micheal Vick and Tim Dwight for Ladanian Tomlinson, Drew Brees and Nick Keading. lmaooo
Tomlinson will be retired in two years. Great career and its tough to call a guy who set the record for touchdowns in a single season "gutless". To me it looks like he lost his love for the game. Probably couldnt handle the medias ridicule after he sat the Colts game. Just doesn't seem to have the desire anymore.
Bad coaching has been the problem with this team. Turner + Cottrell = trouble. The loss of Merriman crippled the D. Phillips gets double teams he isn't able to beat. Rest of front 7 gets full attention for minimal pressure and below average secondary gets exposed when left to cover for too long.
Can't pin shit season on LT. The guy is clearly not even close to 80% healthy.

Thank you for spittin some knowledge sea. I think the problem starts with our O line having no heart and not having Lo Neal doesn't help either. LT is not "old" or "washed up." He simply isn't having a year like the past which tends to happen to running backs during their careers. Doesn't mean he's not the same or he's never gonna be the same because that's just horse shit. Nobody just loses their talent over night. I strongly believe he's still hurt but won't use it as an excuse. By the way, I HOPE THEY CLOWN THE FUCK OUT OF YOU AT THE GAME FOR BEING SUCH A SHMUCK POOP. Wear a Raider jersey instead. Atleast someone might respect you then!!!!!!!!!!!
What he has done in the past is great, but that does not excuse him for his gutless play this year. THis aint about what he has done in his career, and I never said he is the only problem. When an offensive line, and young players see the person who is supposed to be the leader of the franchise continuosly head staright out of bounds, and not try to bust plays like he used to, it rubs off on them. This team sucks because of Smith, and his decision to bring in a head coach that was on nobody's radar. No body wanted to hire turner, cause he is a career loser, and the run the chargers made last year was cause of talent, not coaching. You have to be in complete denial if you think LT is not gutless, I am not talking about years past, he is no longer injured, he came out and said to reggie bush two years ago that he should run out of bounds every chance he gets, and save himself from getting hit, cause it will lenghten his career. I am not blaming him for not playing in the colts game, I am blaming him for not encouraging the players, just sit on the sideline and not say a word. You have to be blind to think LT is better than Turner right now, there is not a team in this league that would take LT over Turner. By no means is LT the only problem on this team, but he has turned in to a cancer for the team. You go as your leaders go, and LT should have been benched 6 games ago. Everyone can see how little effort he gives. It's one thing to suck when you are trying your best, and it's another to suck when on every play all he wants to do is not get hit. He is a fucking pussy at this point in his career and should retire, and anyone who thinks he is not should get a tape of every run and pass he has had this year, and then talk. There are no yards to gain out of bounds.
