Neal Out , Possibly For Season
Three-time Pro Bowl fullback Lorenzo Neal, the lead blocker for San Diego Chargers' star tailback LaDainian Tomlinson, will be sidelined for the rest of the regular season after fracturing his right fibula in Sunday's overtime victory against the Tennessee Titans.

and for some reason this is being swept under the rug like it doesnt matter. without Neal, Tomlinson wont have as much running room. Neal is a bull dozer plain and simple

Andrew Pinnock, hes bigger, faster but isnt quite the blocker that Neal is. this guy is more of a Mike Alstott type fullback but he wont be getting Mike Alstott carries i can assure you but he is another saftey valve for Rivers as he has decent hands on him..... |

Pinnocks decent, but now, I'm not so sure if it can all fall on Tomlinson and only Tomlinson's shoulders to carry them to the playoffs. This is a funny thing I noticed, I could be wrong, but I could be right. Watch A Pats game and watch a Chargers game. When the Pats are on offense, watch their O-line, when they passblock they're phenomenal, when they run block they're terrible. Then the Chargers O-line is the complete inverse, I don't know, it's just something I noticed a couple weeks ago.

on Tomlinsons shoulders only? you must have forgoteen about Antonio Gates and Chris Chambers who has made clutch catch after clutch catch to keep drives alive. |

Yeah, but it's kind of hard when you have a QB named Phillip Rivers passing the ball.
