" I'm Brian whenever the San Diego Chargers enter the 2009 -- going after a fourth consecutive division title for preview were joined by team beat writer Kevin -- from the San Diego union Tribune Kevin. But he -- coming up they lackluster season. Was last year a fluke or is he on the downside his career."

" Well both of those could be true it only legitimate question. He you know to question whether he has on the downside. The and tears and morality than with these injuries he is thirty years old. You know my return to said that thirty is not the magic number necessarily for for running backs. These guys legendary in his work ethic so it's also legitimate to today. I think he's going to have a really good year he's in an offense that you know of the need to rely on him. And and it's going to spread defenses out I think it all the signs he's gone and looking really really good. And him being in this conference point two and not necessarily having come to that practice. --"

" Career Shawne Merriman missed all but one game last season after his knee surgery has a three time pro bowler looking at camp."

" You know real good they're very careful with them they're they're resting him think of any question is going to come back healthy after the spring he had. That -- is set schedule former not doing two days. When he does go and play he's he's working more and more almost every time he's been there. And when he does go you quick off line and I and I look forward in the preceding games. But I don't know why I mean like have a question about whether he's going to be physical and be light and people want. Club because he well though it and it's it's -- really good question because. The Chargers found out last year exactly how much they miss him when he naught and though the Hispanic."

" Finally the ball at a rally to make the playoffs last year that should be the case this year records are clearly the favorites to win the division."

" Yeah but they were last year too I mean you know I think is -- really getting a really good team airman gone last year a lot of injury to other people. And and those people are healthy. A year wiser year more experience -- defensive coordinator anyway I think it made world of difference so far. Plus healthy skepticism about this team went would be my prescription for fans and anybody interested just becomes. Okay what they've they've. They -- media have achieved more in the past few years and half as successful as they ban I still would maintain healthy skepticism."

" Okay Gavin thanks for the and I don't forget foxsports.com. Has you covered for all your football needs I'm Bryan Webber will you next time."
