Game Thread W5 - San Diego V Miami (1 Viewer)

4-1 MIA1 (15:00) L.Tomlinson left guard to MIA 1 for no gain (Y.Bell).If there isn't a better case for why LT should be riding the pine, I don't know what is. This old man is washed up. Bench him.
Give it a break, guy. We know from every post in here that you have some misguided disdain for the guy.
 
It would be nice to come in here and get insight into the game as opposed to hearing the Sproles owners complain about LT being washed up.
Go away. I don't own any player on either team except Chambers, and I don't even start the guy. I'm a fan of neither team. Maybe, just maybe people are calling the game as they see it.
Go away? I didn't realize this was your board. My bad.
No worries :goodposting:
 
Ok, enough handoffs to Ricky. The guy has 9 carries for 23 yards versus Ronnie's 12 for 80. And most of Ricky's runs have been for 2 yards or less.
Ronnie owner here--and one who thinks he is the better player now and for the future--but that isn't totally fair. RW hasn't had many good holes on his opportunities. On the other hand, Brown has broken alot of tackles in the backfield. He doesn't go down on the first hit very often. Brown is better but I wouldn't imply that Ricky sucks.

He's not washed up. He has had several decent carries in the game. The Oline isn't helping him out. HOWEVER. Since he limped off in obvious pain a few plays earlier, I do think he needed to sit that play out.
Ignore him. He was saying this same crap two years ago too. He's just here to stir up nonsense.
 
Yeremiah Bell tips ball away to force another SD punt. Not sure why MIA keeps using Bess as the return guy instead of Ginn. He's been horrible today.

 
Miami D forcing Rivers to scramble and move - Rivers has really missed when on the run. As Tasker mentioned the Chargers are seeing a lot of 3rd and 6/8 and it has led to their struggles. Not sure why they are throwing so much after LT had a good run - they need some rhythm.

 
Ted Cottrell should be fired immediately after the game. I can't imagine how a guy with the players he has to work with allows the huge 3rd downs to this Miami team.

 
Wow...our D is the suck.....

I wonder what the time of possession is? It's like we had the ball 6 times....

It's over.....wow.....didn't see this loss when the schedule came out!

Kudos to the Miami Offense.....pretty interesting scheme....

 
Cotrell has to be one of the word D Coordinators I've ever seen. They have got to fire that guy on Monday or later today. The Chargers will continue to be the suck with him running the D.

Not sure the D scheme was all that much to blame - it seemed like the Dolphins wanted to go physical smashmouth - they imposed their strength. If Chargers have their best players like Merriman it may have been different - this was personnel.
 
Well, if anyone is wondering - it looks like the left side of the Miami OL is the real deal. Scheme or not, those guys were beating SDs guys 1 on 1. Really surprised Jake Long is a good football player right away like this.

 
Terrible. Everyone sucked today for the bolts. Miami played smart and collegey and SD brought their usual High School tackling. It's going to be a long season for the bolts.

Right...57 total yards against Miami. I'm just trying to stir up nonsense.

They played a base defense the whole 2nd half. No blitzes, no stunt packages, nothing. There are down and distances and ebb and flow that really require a defensive coordinator to roll the dice once in a while. Old Teddy C. just sits back on his fat ### and gives up 5 yards a play.

:goodposting:Whether EdwardCat has a motive or history of hating on Tomlinson is irrelevant to the fact that he is correct today. Tomlinson was garbage today, absolutely garbage. So does the OL only block for Sproles now?

LT will be garbage for the rest of the year if this is the best he can do against Miami. I guess LT went from No #1 RB to below average RB in a matter of a few months. It is a very sad sight to see. I thought maybe he turned it around after last game. I couldn't have been more wrong.

Sproles wasn't that hot either. We ran a vanilla offense and a vanilla defense and got beat. Favre said after the Jets loss that the SD defense played aggressive and they couldn't handle it. The defense played more aggressive during last week's comeback and sealed the deal. What does Cottrell play all game? Some kind of pseudo-prevent. You don't play eight yards off of mediocre receivers on third down :lol: .

But he ran, and has been running better than Tomlinson. How do you explain that? I can't, besides saying what seems to be heretical here, which is LT2008 aint the same one as we all knew in the past. I agree 100% with you about Cottrell. That guy has to be the worst DC in the game. Actually, I was shocked when SD hired that guy, as he was crap when he was with the Jets too. Why was he hired in the first place? The Chargers ran out of time? They would have been better off hiring a college guy at the last minute than a proven failure like Cottrell.

Well then he can be Garbage right next to Slaton in my starting lineup. He still got me 10.7 today. 5.7 on yards, 5 on receptions. Maybe they SHOULD give LT a rest for a week or 2 and run Sproles out there, but no way does he lose his job this year. I do have both but whatever, I still think LT is the man.

While he might have been good for you, in my league, his point total today averaged out over the year would rank him at about RB 45 in my league. We don't give a whopping 1 point per reception.
