LT is...that's who! LaDainian Tomlinson, star running back for the San Diego Chargers, has not had a very appealing first few games for the 2007 NFL season. His statistics through the first three games are very, very minimal. According to his player profile on the ESPN website, he has a mere 130 yards TOTAL on the season! And this is on 57 rushing attempts! These statistics are simply unacceptable for the league’s reigning Most Valuable Player. I mean come on, seriously now. When is LT going to pull it together and play the football he has always been used to? He isn’t used to playing like this, gaining only 2.2 average yards on a rush over three games, let alone one. The most yardage he has gained this season was against the Green Bay Packers, where he got 62 yards on 22 rushing attempts, giving him a lackadaisical 2.8 average yards per attempt. He only has 1, that’s right, 1 touchdown in his three games this season, whereas last season (16 games) he set an NFL record with 31 rushing touchdowns. Yet after 3 games he only managed 1 single touchdown. That is, as it should be, not acceptable (as in with the coaches), yet he is still given the ball, still given chances, in the hopes that he will pull it together and run, cut, and spin like he always has. You can only hope, but that is all you have until he gets done what he needs to get done, hope.
