LT and Ricky

At this point we all know Ricky's story. It's a short and sweet story. Gave up football in his prime to get high. He was 27 at the time. Ricky has since, studied holistic medicine in Grass Valley, CA, played Canadian football in Toronto and signed again to play with the Dolphins again.

I want to talk about Ricky today, not because he is from San Diego and a graduate of Patrick Henry High School, but because I would like to take a look into his age compared to his production in the NFL.

Ricky was born in 1977, LT was born in 1979. Granted Ricky took a hiatus from professional football, he is still two years older than LT. Career rushing attempts: Rickey 2,050 and LT 2,772.

As we saw from last night the 32 year old Ricky still has some tread on his tires. In comparison the 30 year old LT has that same tread!

Let's hope we can see this production this week in Denver!

Believe in the Bolts!!!!

LT is gonna be a Daddy!

In October, everyone was jumping ship! Already looking towards Baseball season, and the draft. I said to Believe in the Bolts! And all you true fans stuck with me and I with you and US with the BOLTS! And it has paid off in the form of a 4 game win streak and a share of First Place in the AFC West!

Here we are, halfway through November and I want to welcome all of the non-true fans back. I still believe 12-4 is very attainable and 11-5 is both respectable and realistic.

On another note, LT is going to be a father! Congrats!!! Ladainian came into the locker room after a strong 2 touchdown performance to find a hand written note from his wife. On it, LaTorsha wrote that she was pregnant with their first child! Congrats!

I also want to thank the true fans for standing behind the bolts and forever procliaming......

.....Believe in the Bolts!!!!

Saving LT?

AHHHHH what an image of LT! I had it on my wall for the majority of my College career. It brings back memories of when LT was in so dominate at the RB position. We all know over the past years LT has been broken down going into the end of the season and the playoffs. What did that mean for the Chargers? Very little run game, if any run game at all in the post season.

Is Norv doing this on purpose? Is LT being saved for the post season? Will LT dominate the second half of the season?

I don't buy into this theory. I could be wrong, Norv could be a genius and be quietly saving LT for the post season. Imagine having a full strength LT in New England in the 2007 season. Would LT have pulled in the safeties and opened two touchdowns over the top in the pass? And given us a Super Bowl birth over the Pats and against the Giants?

Lets look back at this season. Last in the league in rushing yards and third to last in attempts. Is this a masterful strategy to save LT's legs for the post season? We gotta hope so, because if not, the run game needs a jump start.

Should I Stay or Should I Go?

This what is going through LT's head today....Should he stay or should he go? PLEASE STAY! And to the Chargers...you would be stupid to let him go. Chargers please keep LaDainian Tomlinson, it is a must!
