Shawne Merriman looks average w/o the ROIDS - The Orange Mane

Orange_Beard · 10-08-2007, 06:51 PM

This is not sour grapes thread.

I have seen 3 Chargers games this year and Merriman looks average w/o the Roids.

There seemed to be a bunch of people calling him a cheater last year and a bunch of Charger fans here defending him.

After the game yesterday I must say he looks average. 89 pushed him around. He was on real on the juice now, not so much....Guess I will have to jump on the he cheated side.

(You could also say the same thing about Saubraun-

)

Orange_Beard · 10-08-2007, 06:52 PM

Of course he LOOKS average!

If any mod would correct the spelling I would be grateful.

yeah.. watching the Denver game, I noticed that Dumerville had better stats than Merriman. I found that to be quite entertaining.

Even Simms commented that Merriman didn't quite seem to be the same after the return from his suspension. Funny how that works.

Popps · 10-08-2007, 06:55 PM

Gotta say... haven't heard his name much this year, have we.

Interesting coincidence?

You can fix it too...use the "edit" function and just edit the title.

NYBronco · 10-08-2007, 06:59 PM

I don't know, "koos" got me interested in checking out what it was all about.

Merriman has made an example for all rookies to follow. Take the performance enhancers and earn your way to the league Defensive Rookie of the Year and only miss four games.

SoDak Bronco · 10-08-2007, 06:59 PM

nice thread.. I love ripping other teams/players...this is a nice change.

Thanks, I did not know that I could do that.

koos...

Is that swedish?

Bob's your Information Minister · 10-08-2007, 07:03 PM

I agree. I watched San Diego play the Packers and of course the Chiefs. Chad Clifton and Damion McIntosh both handled him pretty well.

boltaneer · 10-08-2007, 07:15 PM

If any of you have watched all of the Charger games this year, the thing that is driving the fans nuts is that Cottrell keeps dropping Merriman into coverage a great deal. Far more than Wade Phillips did last year. It would be like asking Champ Bailey to blitz half the snaps. Why take one of your best players and ask him to do something that he doesn't excel at?

He's still on pace for ten sacks. That's pretty good IMO considering what our defensive coordinator is doing with him.

shakenbake · 10-08-2007, 07:19 PM

Could be the fact that they lost their D-coordinator and the new guy isn't putting him in a position to succeed. But it does feel better to say it must have been the roids.

yavoon · 10-08-2007, 07:21 PM

anything that makes him do that spastic dance less is a win for all humanity.

I would have to agree to an extent. Last year I saw him blitzing from all over the place. One could not predict where he'd be lined up on any given play. I saw several of his sacks come from up middle. He's been relegated to edge rushing duties if he's even rushing the QB. He clearly isn't being used correctly.

Cottrell is completely wasting his talent.

The only way to truly utilize his talent would be to trade him the the Broncos. As far as I am concerned every player on SD is waisting there talent.

Los Broncos · 10-08-2007, 10:57 PM

Graham was on him too i think, that will take some away from him.

DukeWoody · 10-08-2007, 11:11 PM

This is something i posted Sept. 30th and still stand by these assumptions too this day...

The whole team was on roid juice, well the LBs...

You guys have Peterson, Sauerbrun, and Henry. Can I logically draw the conclusion that everybody on your team is toking and roiding?

Orange_Beard · 10-08-2007, 11:42 PM

Had Peterson.
They looked like they were toking last Sunday.

After reading that post, I think we can safely conclude that DukeWoody has been toking.

Good point ... yes, I've watched some of the Chargers games every week, but noticed him specifically only a few times. He has 3 sacks through 5 games, but is definitely not the terror he was on the juice.

Somebody shouldda shot Barry Bonds when he was on 713.

BTW - Saurbrun leads the league in gross avg.

Circle Orange · 10-09-2007, 12:36 PM

It's funny. NFL Network did a small piece on him recently where he was talking about the "lights out" dance.

At least he can still do that. Looks just like an electrocuted chicken on acid.

It's a combination of both... losing his defensive coordinator who was using him differently. And being off the juice.. he lost that edge he once had. He is still a good player..and I would take him on the Broncos any day.

Considering that he test positive once last August, and played well during the 2006 season even after the suspension, I believe it's actually the DC and scheme that's the problem.

All I can say is that he's still stuffing the run whenever anyone is foolish enough to run directly at him.
