ENGLEWOOD – Not long ago, the mention of San Diego running back LaDainian Tomlinson made the Denver Broncos sweat. With good reason: Tomlinson has 1,344 yards and 18 touchdowns in 16 career games against Denver.

Tomlinson still gets a lot of respect around the Broncos’ headquarters, even though his numbers have plummeted. Tomlinson missed two games with an ankle injury and has only 70 yards on 20 carries in two games. He had 15 yards on seven carries in San Diego’s last game, against Pittsburgh.
Still, the Broncos figure Tomlinson will be a heavy part of Monday night’s plan.

“I would be surprised if they didn’t,” cornerback Champ Bailey said. “Coming off a bye week, he’s probably feeling good as ever. I’ve got a feeling they’re probably going to feed him more than they ever have. He’s a special player.”

You know, I just don't think Tomlinson is the player he use to be. Through injuries and maybe age, he has slown down the last couple years. I personally just think he doesn't have that quickness anymore. He may get a lot of carries Monday night but believe he hurts the Charger offense at times.

Anybody think that Tomlinson is now a liability on offense for the Chargers?

Yes, he's a liability. He just isnt the same player he was.
This should be a good game.There is still Phillips Rivers on offense.
