The Facts:
Tomlinson says you shouldn't believe everything you see on film when it comes to his last few seasons in San Diego. LT said Thursday after a team workout that several factors led to his decreased production with the Chargers. "The things that happened in San Diego, everything was taken away from me," Tomlinson said.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
LT went on to explain: "There wasn't an emphasis on running the football anymore, my best fullback was gone, the linemen were pass blocking and it was a passing quarterback and a passing coach. So, the situation's kind of misleading when you look on film. ..." Tomlinson, who turns 31 in June and has seen his production diminish in each of the last three seasons, went to insist he hasn't lost a step and can still make defenders miss. Finally, LT, who is expected to be a complement to Shonn Greene, thinks the two can help each other stay fresh by sharing carries. "Shonn and I work well together," said Tomlinson. "Hopefully we're like Jordan and Pippen. ..." It'll be interesting to see if LT acts more like MJ or Scottie as the season draws near.
