Injuries, firings and more injuries have dominated the first half of the 2008 NFL season, giving a much different look to the landscape of the country's most popular league. Tom Brady. Shawne Merriman. Osi Umenyiora. Rodney Harrison. Alex Smith. All lost for the season with injuries. Scott Linehan. Lane Kiffin. Mike Nolan. Matt Millen. Ted Cottrell. You could even throw cornerback DeAngelo Hall into...

But here’s the kicker: Since Shawne Merriman isn’t playing for the rest of the year, it has to be an active member of the Chargers. For me, it’s Philip Rivers. For someone who sold himself as a goodie two shoes Southern boy coming out of N.C. State, dude sure does talk a lot of smack. [...]

Sitting at 3-5, the Chargers have fallen a long way from the AFC Championship Game Appearance of a year ago. What happened? Is LT more injured than we think? Is Shawne Merriman being injured having a bigger effect that originally thought? Apparently so, because they fired Defensive coordinator Ted Cottrell this week and replaced him [...]

BAGSHOT, England – Say what you will about defensive coordinator Ted Cottrell and the lack of linebacker Shawne Merriman. For want of a tackle, the Chargers might have launched this 11,000-mile sojourn with a victory. With 19 points the difference between 3-4 and 7-0, it's the small things keeping this team on a bumpy path.

Going into tonight’s game against New England, Many things are different than expected when the schedule was announced. On both sides of the field. Obviously, the injuries are key. Tom Brady and Shawne Merriman are dominant forces in The League, let alone on their own teams. Both teams have felt those absences and it is obvious [...]

Michael Jordan is missing. Scottie Pippen is playing his hardest, yet finding himself looking around wondering what the heck is not quite right. “One of the big reasons I decided to make sure I re-signed here is because I knew I had Shawne Merriman on my team,” Chargers linebacker Shaun Phillips said this week. “I knew it's not always on me. To me, it was like Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan.”

The calendar says it's Patriots-Chargers week, but of course this isn't the same game we had circled since the moment the NFL schedule came out in April. There's no Tom Brady for New England. There's no Shawne Merriman or even a healthy LaDainian Tomlinson for San Diego. And there's no first-place standing for either AFC perennial power. The Chargers are trailing the 4-1 Broncos in the AFC West, and...

Hi all, I am from the Chargers blog, 'Bolts from the Blue'. We are going to try a question and answer format. I'll start off by giving an overview of the Chargers. The season started off rough with the loss of Shawne Merriman for the season. We signed Jyles Tucker to fill in, but he will also be out this week with a hamstring injury. Marques Harris is now filling in, and while certainly he is not...

Our comrade Mike Salfino over at SNY.tv writes that the Jets might be handcuffing Favre at this point in the season. Defensively, though, San Diego is hurting while adapting to life without All-Pro defensive end Shawne Merriman, the key to their scheme. The Chargers also are last in sack percentage and 31st in interception rate. Those [...]
