RB LaDainian Tomlinson, the New York Jets, dismissed the comments on Monday that was given from former San Diego Chargers teammates in which his departure was suggested as relieved tensions around the AFC West team.

Pro Bowlers TE Antonio Gates and QB Philip Rivers told that the departure of Tomlinson had removed a near-toxic atmosphere in the locker room.

Tomlinson became the leading rusher of NFL in 2000 and he was cut by the Chargers in February.

He said, “Honestly, I really have no reaction to it. I don’t spend any of my time thinking about what’s going on there because I’m so focused in this football team and job at hand. I’ve moved on. It doesn’t hurt me, but nothing surprises me because guys want to speak their opinion on things. Junior Seau went through the same thing with guys when he was the big star and he left the team and guys said how they felt about him. It’s the same situation. Good luck to those guys.”

Without Tomlinson, in the Union-Tribune of the first camp of Chargers, Philip Rivers said, “I don’t know how everyone feels or if they felt it. Maybe it was a little bit of a relief. Maybe it’s a feeling of, ‘I can do a little more without wondering what he thinks.”

Younger brother of Philip Rivers, quarterback Stephen Rivers, made up his mind to join LSU in the 2011 signing.

On Friday, the Tigers picked up their 17th commitment.

According to ESPN, Stephen Rivers is the 55th best QB prospect of the country. Allen Creasy, the Athens, Ala., high shool coach of his, says younger brother was further along than the elder one at this point in the career.

He said further that Stephen Rivers is bigger, faster and also the throws the ball better.

The coach mentioned that this is just the truth but he thinks that the young Rivers’ potential and future are unlimited.

Stephen plays in the same prep football program which had produced Philip Rivers and he wears his brother’s jersey number i.e. 17.

The senior Rivers, father of the two was a former Athens head coach and is now the Golden Eagles’ QBs coach.

In recent success, it can be said, the San Diego Chargers have two critical pieces and they are wide receiver Vincent Jackson and offensive lineman Marcus McNeil. Both of them are likely to hold out for a sizable portion of the season. Well, it is not a matter of worry to Philip Rivers.

Rivers said to the media recently, “Those are two key guys on our offense. I don’t think there’s any way you can say we’re not better with them. We want to have them. But at the same time, can you still get it done without them? The answer is ‘Yes.”

In the absence of Jackson, Malcom Floyd and Legedu Naanee may start. Now receiver has 100 career receptions in the NFL and Rivers remains somewhat upbeat about the lack of experience of the two.

He said, “People say we don’t know if these guys can do it. You’re right. We don’t know, but we’ve never asked them to do it.”

At one side the NFL continues to celebrate the life and innovations of late Don coryell and on the other side the San Diego Chargers is continuing building an offense that is poised to carry on the “Air Coryell” style. Not to forget, this had terrorized the opponents in 1970s and 1980s.

We all know that the high-powered offenses of the Chargers were not able to a get a Super Bowl title, but it seems that the modern version of the prolific attack of the team has the look of a champion.

Philip Rivers is leading the quarterback and with him the Chargers have ranked in the top 5 in scoring since 2006.

Chargers also had finished among the top passing offenses of the league in 2008 and 2009.

Philip Rivers has earned two Pro Bowl nods and he has also emerged as the main driving force on offense. With over 4,000 yards passing he is now coming off his second straight season.

The high completion percentage of Rivers would suggest that he operates an efficient dink-and-dunk offense. Philip Rivers has averaged a league-leading 8.6 yards per attempt and this is something indicative of the vertical nature of the offense.

In the charger the free agent this season is surely a point of disturbance for the fans. Some say the ‘bad guy’ is either A.J. Smith, the GM of Chargers, or else Vincent Jackson and Marcus McNeill. All the fans of Chargers is waiting for someone to side with, and someone to despise.

There has been great debate to this and some believe that the main culprit weasels are the agents.

Not only about Vincent’s agent Neil Schwartz or McNeill’s agent Alvin Keels, but this is perfect for all the pro sports agents.

Now it seems as if organizations and players are such a vehicle that drove away years ago from their fan bases and now it is only the moving thing is the agents.
