"People haven't seen the best of me, not at all," Merriman said. "In the past, I would tell someone, 'I'm about to go out and just kill it this year.' Now I want people to just watch. I had enough doubters around before, and some people felt like I was talking (trash) or just talking too much. My thing is, now I'm just talking about what I've done and what I'm doing right now – not about what I'm going to do … I'm going to be me. If anybody thought I was good in the past, well, just wait. Now I'm healthy."

But defense - dictating, nasty, competitive defense - sets the tone for your entire organization and your football team," Smith said. "That's the basis for winning. Until we fix it and come up with answers, I don't believe the San Diego Chargers will get where we want to go."

There are some guys out there that defy the odds, and I'm eager to prove that," Tomlinson said.

Thu, 25 Jun 2009 22:51:01 -0700
