This team needs to balance its loyalty to Tomlinson with its aim to win games

But unlike the Giants or Eagles, Cleveland should not be a close match, even if it took a little fourth quarter magic to make it anything besides a 30-7 blowout.This team needs to balance its loyalty to Tomlinson with its aim to win games. I love what he has meant to San Diego, but that’s the biggest lesson I take away from this Cleveland game. He is not a threat to average four yards per carry any night (let alone season), figure out if you have someone to share the load with on the team, or if that will be something to look at in the offseason.It can’t do the team any harm to see someone else get a handful of carries, it would not be costing them yards. Find out what pieces you have, give the guy 15 instead of 20 carries, it may even keep him less dinged up for the playoffs and give a little more spark Good luck and Go Chargers! .
