If Traylor is in the game then I think we have a shot. We have to keep L.T. under 100 yards and get pressure of Breez.

Hopefully we get back ZT
 
I'd rather we concentrate on keeping LT2 out of the endzone.
 
Traylor+Zach comming back= Tomlinson having an average 70-90 yard/ 1 TD(maybe) game.
 
No.

LT is the NFL equilvant of Reggie Bush, he's just toying with defenses at this size and he's been a nasty streak lately of constantly making the first person miss and needing gang tackles to bring him down. All we need to do is keep him out of the endzone...
 
there is no question whether or not we keep LT under 100 yds. He's lucky if he gets 80. I'm tired of hearing, "oh my, how are we gona stop LT and Gates"? The Raiders held him to 80 yds on 25 carries. We can do the same. The Chargers have absolutely ZERO chance at beating us. SCREW LT, GATES, AND THE CHARGERS. How about Thomas, Crowder, Traylor, Taylor!!!!!!!They're going DOWN! Our team is fired up and on a roll. We are in a strong mental state right now and we WILL NOT LET DOWN!!!!!!! I can't wait until Sunday!! COME ON MIAMI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Its going to be tuff because they have so many weapons on Offense but i think if we can shut down the running game or keep it to 100 yards we should come out on top. Just make sure you dont put Howard on the feild hahah

If Zach, Clam Chowder as i like to call him and Pope are on the feild along with traylor we should be in good for shuttin him down.

If we win this game it will be by no more than 7 points. I just hope that the Defense is ready to play for the 1st play till the last play we cant allow LT to get hot.

LOL. Did you watch the raiders game and how we used LT? By end of 2nd qtr, we barely even gave him....ahh...nevermind...ok..sure thing! :lol:
 
Yeah they just gave up a ton of yards to his backup when he got injured. Problem is not containing LT, he may be there best player but since its our secondary that is QB friendly we must stop Kenan McCardell and Antonio Gates.

And to win we must not give up a score on the opening drive.
 
I think the far more successful strategy against the Chargers would be to shut down the passing game and make Tomlinson beat you simply because it is so tough to stop LaDanian. That said, I think this team has 0 chance of making that happen. That leaves focusing on Tomlinson, hoping you can shut him down, and making Brees beat you.

When L.T. is held to under 4 yards a carry, your team lost 4 out of 6 games.

Can L.T. be stopped or contained? Sure he can. Ask Philadelphia. Ask Pittsburgh. Ask Denver. Ask Dallas.

Oh but that's right, I forgot that L.T. is the fastest player in the NFL, and the strongest player in the NFL too. :rolleyes:

Considering the one common factor in each of the Chargers' four losses has been L.T. held to under 75 yards rushing, at under 4 yards a carry...that strategy would be disastrous. Drew Brees doesn't have to do much when L.T. is allowed to do whatever the heck he wants to do. Heck, L.T. even throws some of Brees' touchdown passes for him.
 
i highly doubt it....holding him without a TD would be easier and more effective as POINTS not YARDS matter.
 
I think its possible.. but its doubtful. Plus we'll totally screw me over in fantasy football if we do seeing as LT is my only star since that ****** arbitrator Bloch upheld the Eagles stance on TO.
 
we need an early lead so our offense can stay balanced and so our defense can be aggressive, that is the key
