what a warrior that guy has been in the nfl...

remember when he broke mario bates's jaw when they were arguing at club 57 over who was the best back? mario drank his dinner through a straw all season and lost so much weight he was even weaker than when he got healthy...

we should've never gotten rid of him...

Watch Lad's production drop sharply. It has happened to every back he's blocked for.

Charger's don't use a full back in their new Schottenhiemer-less offense, they been talkin bout this for awhile, truely tragic, best FB in football for many-a-years..

Why did the Saints ever let this guy go?

Lorenzo told me that he had major problems with Carl Smith and vice versa. He loved the city but was pleased to move on. This was a factor although I don't know if it was the only reason.

BTW, Chargers also cut shane olivea, OT, and marlon mcree, S, according to PFT.

Did you see that they cut OT Shane Olivea, that is surprising. Here's an article were he was benched last November. Up to then, this guy was solid. Will be a good pickup

Olivea, 26, has been regarded by some league personnel evaluators as one of the NFL's most consistent right tackles, a position that has lacked quality leaguewide the past few seasons. Despite his low-round draft status, Olivea earned a starting job as a rookie in 2004 and started all 16 games that season.

The former Ohio State lineman has missed only two of a possible 59 games, one in '05 because of a sprained knee, and the Sept. 23 game this season when his back stiffened.

Only 15 months ago, Chargers officials thought enough of Olivea to identify him as one of the nucleus players for their future and proactively signed him to a six-year, $20 million contract that runs through the 2011 season. The deal included $7.5 million in bonuses.
