This is what happens when your O-line gets bitch slapped by da raidaaas.

Wrong, Mcneil signed his FT contract 3 weeks ago, and his availability for their next game has no bearing on last weeks performance.

As a holdout, McNeill was placed on the team's "Did Not Report" list for training camp, allowing the Chargers to receive a roster exemption for his spot.

why didnt they just do that in the first place? trying to make a point by not having your best lineman on the field for 5 weeks and being 2-3? stupid.

AJ Smith, while being very good at what he does also has a tremendous ego.

See battles between Schottenheimer, Tomlinson et al carried out in the press for evidence.

Who says that they would have done it this year without the holdout? They could have just let him play out his one year tender, and slap the franchise tag on him next season (2012 if a lockout), and continued on.

P.S. MM may not be the best lineman on that team either, although he has been very very good.
