Dolts D losing its "Charge"

http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniont...4chargers.html

Quote:
Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman will play at least the next two weeks as he awaits a hearing to appeal his pending four-game suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy.

Merriman, the 2005 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year, tested positive for a banned substance earlier this month. His hearing is tentatively scheduled for Nov. 7.
Quote:
Cornwell will attend the Nov. 7 hearing in New York with Merriman. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell or one of his designees will decide Merriman's fate at that point.

Also, an NFLPA representative, a court reporter and a representative of the management council will be present.

Merriman will remain active pending the outcome of the hearing. That means he will play Sunday against the St. Louis Rams and Nov. 5 against Cleveland.
I cant wait, I know we have other games, but this is too good to resist!!

I would expect an announcement on the appeal within the week after the hearing. Goodell has made it a policy to drop the hammer quick to establish a rep of being hard when it comes to drugs.

LB Merriman will likely be suspended.
LB Phillips has a strained calf and could take up to 4 weeks to heal.
LB Foley is out because of the shooting.
DE Olshansky had knee surgery but could return in two weeks.
S Kiel has a drug charge pending.

Not to mention any new injuries/arrests/drug suspensions that will occur in the coming weeks. The D is already melting down wit a reported 18 missed tackles against KC this past weekend.

The SD D could be ripe for the taking. With that depleted LB core, the RB should be able to make consistent yardage for first downs. Also, our TEs, RBs, and short crossing patterns could steadily move the ball. Ss will have to cheat up into the box for run support and the vertical game will hit.

There is no way in hell that you can dispute that if you lose your LB core, a DE and a CB you would not be in serious trouble - not just against the Raiders buy every team in the NFL.

You're freakin kool-aid drinking looney if you think your team would be all hunky-dory.

I watched an interview with Merriman on BSPN he would not even look at the camera looked guilty as hell. He apologize to the team and not to the SD fans wtf is wrong with that picture.

Against all the other teams, yes it will be a little more difficult on D. Against the Raiders? No.

You have won ONE game against a ****ty team. That doesn't make you a threat to anyone, even an injured depleted
