ENEMY LINES
WHAT A RIVAL COACH SAYS

"Philip Rivers will put up some numbers. He's a gunslinger. He's an attack guy.... Does LaDainian Tomlinson still have it? Yes. But there is no way he is going to get the ball 25 times a game and play a 16-game season. He's not on the decline; he's just getting hurt.... Darren Sproles is not an every-down back, but I think the guy is going to have a heck of a year, whether as a returner or as a running back.... We had no chance to cover Vincent Jackson [below] last year, and Rivers likes throwing to him. I think Jackson and Chris Chambers will put up big numbers because with LT healthy, defenses won't be able to play Cover Two, which will leave man coverage on the outside.... Antonio Gates does not want anything to do with blocking. But we can't cover him. No one can. He's had some foot problems, but his best days are still in front of him."
