We weren't big fans of the Charger's hiring of Norv Turner as the head ball coach, in fact, we hated it. It was in large part because of the justification being "continuity" as he was the one that installed the offense back in '01 as the Offensive Coordinator which was lame window dressing attempting to disguise the fact that the Chargers were backed into a corner late in the hiring season after all the other "free agents" had been picked up.
Regardless, it pleases us to no end to announce that Norv Turner in facing his first big decision of the season, has aced it... nailed it.... just drove a stake through the heart of it!
The Chargers play their first pre-season game this evening against the Seattle Seahawks and as has been the case pretty much since he entered the league, LaDanian Tomlinson, will not be playing. Norv Turner is a newbie so he probably wasn't aware that... well, we'll just let Norv himself explain:
“I've never been around that, and it would have made me nervous if that's not what they've done here,” Turner said. “LT didn't play a down last year and had, I'd say, a pretty good year. So we're going to stay with that plan.” (Sunday's San Diego U-T)
Well said, Norv... well said.
As we have contended for years, there is no better sight, for Charger fans, than to see L.T. in street clothes on the sidelines during pre-season games.
