KC calls SD soft (1 Viewer)

LaDainian Tomlinson said he's looking forward to facing the Chiefs on Sunday to prove a point. The Chiefs not only handed the Chargers one of their two losses this year, but fired off some pointed comments as well. "What sticks out in my mind is them calling us soft last time,'' Tomlinson said. "Obviously as a player when someone calls you soft you don't like it too much. Finesse team, or whatever you want, we are not a soft team, we are not a finesse team. We can play any game that you want us to play. So obviously they beat us, and that was our last loss, but then again they said we were soft. So we'll see.'' ... The Chargers said the Pro Football Hall of Fame asked for a memento from Sunday's record-setting game from Tomlinson. The team will wait until after the season to send something. ... These players might have their practice time derailed this week: WRs Malcom Floyd (ankle) and Keenan McCardell (ankle), LBs Randall Godfrey (calf), Donnie Edwards (elbow), Shaun Phillips (hamstring) and Marques Harris (hamstring), DT Jacques Cesaire (neck), TE Brandon Manumaleuna

I don't know, it's not like not saying it will change anything, right? He's already on a ridiculous run ....

Seems like posturing to pump themselves up. Anything after losses to the Browns and Ravens. :goodposting:

 
I saw the clip from his interview on Total Access on Monday, LT looked pissed, and I turned and said to my brother that San Diego is going to destroy KC on Sunday night. LT doesn't get mad often, and i'm sure he's the type of leader on this team that when he does, the guys in the locker room get that much more intense. Couple that with two teams going in opposite direction, I think we'll have a 42-17 scoreline on Sunday night here.

 
As someone who's riding LT through the playoffs....

SWEEEEEEEEET

When you've got an upcoming game against a guy who's rattling off 3TDs a week, WHY do you piss him off. This is akin yelling racial slurs at Mike Tyson before stepping into the ring.

Good luck KC... you're gonna need it. :popcorn:

As someone playing LT in the first round of the playoffs all I can say is :popcorn: :yes: ;) ;) :(
 
so LT is upset now about an insult that happened two months ago??? OK, just checkiing. This sounds like some manufactured motivational anger. Funny that he's actually trying to sell a story this stale. LT better save the righteous indignation for game day or else he's gonna be worn out come Sunday.

He was insulted at how KC reacted and what they said. It happened awhile ago but he didn't forget and this was the next chance that they had to respond. Motivational, sure but LT plays with a lot of pride and probably didn't appreciate being insulted.

So if another owner in your league beat you two months ago and then ridiculed your team management skills, you're telling me you wouldn't remember that heading into a rematch this week?
 
For some perspective, the comments were made immediatley after SD lost in KC on Oct. 22. The comments were made by Chiefs rookie defensive end Tamba Hali. Hali said,

“After running the film we didn't think they were as physical as we faced (earlier this year),” Hali said. “The Steelers were physical. We played a physical game there. We were all banged up when we came out of there. Looking at the film, we know they (the Chargers) were a finesse team. We didn't think they were that physical a team, so we thought we could get after them.”
Those words didn't sit well with the Chargers and that newspaper clipping has been posted in the team's weightroom ever since. Whatever motivation you need to get up for a divisional game I would say use it. LT doesn't get mad very often so I would hate to see what the guy is capable of doing with some extra motivation after being insulted. I am sure LT will be one of those that brings these comments up in the pregame speech. If I were Trent Green I would not be getting a lot of sleep this week just knowing what Shawne Merriman did to Priest Holmes last year when the Chiefs came to SD.

LT doesn't strike me as a guy that is necessarily going to play "harder" just because he's mad. Heck, he doesn't even look like he gets mad. Dude is already unreal.

 
I don't doubt that he felt insulted then and that it could have an impact this week but not as much as if the bulletin board material was coming from this week. Previous posters made it sound as if these were fresh insults from this week and that is not the case.

What's ironic is that Phil Simms while announcing the SD-Denver game remarked how big and physical the Chargers were and how they were pushing the Bronco's all over the field. This should be an interesting game. Not that the Chargers needed any additional motivation or needed to raise their game any higher than it's been over the last 6-7 weeks. KC better hope that LJ has a HUGE game.

How many times has SD played KC since the comment? Obviously, the topic of KC is being discussed right now.
 
Perhaps, in light of Lamar Hunt's passing, KC comes out and punches SD in the mouth on Sunday, bulletin board material notwithstanding?

Right. The old man's death will no doubt confer some hearts, brains, and guts onto this sorry ### team. :hahachargersroll:
 
Or maybe it's just a small motivational ploy by a very, very quiet leader on the team. This is a classic let-down game. Defeated your division rival by 28 last week to lock up the divison title three weeks before the end of the year. A .500 KC team rolls into your stadium that has very little hope at making the wild-card and has been playing pretty poor. It would be pretty easy to look past this Chief team. I like Hali and think he's going to be a great player but I'd rather be a finesse 11-2 than a physical 7-6 any day. SD shouldn't forget that on any given sunday an inferior team can beat a better team.

It's a homefield division game against a team that got the better of them earlier in the season. It doesn't market itself well as a letdown game. Maybe next week at the Seahawks, but given the way the KC defense plays on the road I think it has the making of a slaughter more than a letdown game.LT is protective of his blockers and the comments were directed at them. I wouldn't be surprised if he is honestly a bit annoyed.

I don't think the timing matters one bit.

One player calling a team soft is like yelling N____. Give me a ####### break. Idiot.
