Tomlinson, appearing on ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown as a guest analyst, didn't mention Holmes or Burress by name. But he didn't have to. "I think some things that happened in the locker room between [Sanchez] and the receivers, I think that's where this is coming from -- some of the disconnects that happened throughout the year, maybe some of the arguments you guys heard about throughout the year," Tomlinson said. "So I think this is where it may be coming from. ..." Like several of his teammates who defended Sanchez publicly in recent days, Tomlinson claimed Sanchez isn't lazy, as one unnamed player said in a New York Daily News article. "Listen, there are a lot of things you can say about Mark Sanchez, but to call him lazy is a bit much," Tomlinson said. But LT didn't disagree with the notion that Sanchez needs a viable backup to keep him sharp. "I do think he'll be a better player if he has some competition, somebody to push him," the veteran RB said. ... Tomlinson, a free agent, said he's still contemplating retirement, but keeping his options open.
