I have seen it all, Norv Turner outcoached Tony Dungy. I can almost list Norv in the asset column of my beloved Bolts. If he did anything right this year it was changing defensive coordinators, something Allan has been pointing to for a few years as the real problem, that defensive shuffle was the perfect antidote to manning. Regarding the topic, “who needs LT”, just the fact that the other team doesn’t know if he will play is an advantage, it hurts them to not know what to prepare for, hopefully it will be gametime decision again next week.
There is one player that the Chargers need to pay whatever he wants and never lose him, no it’s not L.T., sproles, gates or rivers. It’s Mike Scifres, the punter. For the first time in my life I researched the contract of a punter (fyi, they have him under contract until 2011). I have never seen a more perfect game from a punter, if they lose him I will break things, lots of things, good things, maybe A.J.’s things. No team designs a game plan to compensate from being pinned against the goal line on almost every posession, it was a thing of beauty.
