Hopefully, this is not a repost. This is an excerpt from Michael Silver's column on Yahoo Sports...

By testing positive for performance enhancing drugs during his standout 2006 season, San Diego Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman set himself up for increased scrutiny in '07 – including from within his own locker room. Some San Diego players are questioning whether "Lights Out" is the same player as he was before the positive test, and watching him get waxed by Jaguars halfback Maurice Jones-Drew on a third quarter touchdown pass in Jacksonville's 24-17 victory surely did nothing to dissuade them. "I don't see people doubling him or chipping to account for him this year," one Chargers player said of Merriman last week. "There's no question Shaun Phillips is our best pass rusher right now."

I bet the teammate was the Chargers' kicker.

Props to Rack who last year amidst all this Merriman love, said that in his opinion Shaun Phillips was the Chargers best pass rusher. I looked for the post but couldn't find it.

He might have said it but that certainly doesn't make it true. That statement couldn't have been true until this year. Merriman (on roids) was the best in the league last year. One of the best in history. Phillips is as good this year as he was last year and neither are a good as Ware.

That last part felt good to type...
