Agreed. As advertised, Cotrell has totally taken the bite and the pass rush out of the Chargers. Roids is a good hater excuse but I don't think is based in reality.Not to mention that the Chargers' could stop the run last year and were ahead in most games which led to obvious passing situations. That's obviously not the case but why let facts get in the way...back to our Merriman hating thread....

I don't get it. In one photo he is wearing his shoulder pads and in the other he isn't. Wouldn't most people look smaller without all their equipment on?

MJD was on the Jim Rome show this morning, and Jason Whitlock (filling in for Rome) was going off about that hit. Anyone have a video link to it?OU#1 said:

I dont see any shoulder pads. Are you saying he is wearing padding? He just looks swole in the first.Look at his neck size and form as a solid example.I was thinking the same thing.

That\'s a good point. The effect that the shoulder pads have one one\'s head size is a subtlety lost on most football fans.I don\'t get it. In one photo he is wearing his shoulder pads and in the other he isn\'t. Wouldn\'t most people look smaller without all their equipment on?

So... you're saying that not using steroids makes your head shrink? I'd never heard that before.

On the radio this morning, he was talking about how he also played cornerback in High School, and that he loved it. I love this guy.

He's not wearing pads in either pic, but the second one is from further away and/or a different lens size. While he is admittedly smaller in the second, the difference is not as dramatic as it seems due to photo-optical reasons. We also don't know at which point in his training these two pics were taken. One could have been taken right before TC when players are at their biggest and the other after a lot of condidtioning has gone on which tends to start eating away at size.Obviously he is smaller in the second pic, but they are not as big a difference as it seems.That's the thing...he's not wearing shoulder pads.I don't get it.

I don't need photos to tell me that he's much worse this year. Yeah, he gets tackles. Any decent LB will get tackles. But people were talking about him as one of the best defensive players in the game. What an embarrassment that this guy made the Pro Bowl.

The biggest difference is in his neck. It looks much bulgier in the first pic.

I blame it on the neck tattoo.

That's 2005, I believe. 2006 and 2007 don't look that much different.

It says first pic was taken May 5 2005, second May 30 2007. Even the difference between the 2006 and 2007 is visible, though not as much.I understand what you're saying with the lens, but lens or not, his neck, shoulders, and chest are all clearly smaller.He's not wearing pads in either pic, but the second one is from further away and/or a different lens size.

What I want to know is how did it take until halfway through 2006 to have the first positive test when he clearly was using since probably 2004? Thats what I want to know
And yep, he's pretty much Lattimer
Yes, May 2005 was just after the draft, when he thought he was going to be a defensive end rather than a linebacker.
The positive test was in August 2006. It just wasn't announced until late October. His 19 clean tests were after August.So he could have been taking them from 2004 through . . . I don't know, June 2006? . . . if he had somehow avoided detection until then. (I don't know how long they stay in your system. But if he had been taking them right up through his positive test in August, you'd think that he would have failed a test in early September or something as well, right?)
