Was Merriman’s impact in San Diego overvalued?
Which Shawne/Shaun has made their presence felt more in San Diego: Shawne (Merriman) or Shaun (Phillips)? It’s over officially for outside linebacker Shawne Merriman, as he is no longer going to be with the San Diego Chargers now. Merriman was placed on the injured-reserve list this season, and once he his healthy, he will be [...]
Is it “lights out” for Merriman in San Diego?
It was good while it lasted for the Chargers and Shawne ”Lights Out” Merriman This past Sunday, we saw Shawne Merriman in a Chargers’ jersey for the last time.

Chargers’ Reserves Impress, Edge Redskins 23-20
As most of the highly seeded teams in both conferences have been doing, the San Diego Chargers gave their starters limited action on the football field, giving way to the reserves. During Sunday’s game between the Chargers and Washington Redskins, some rarely used players saw some appreciable playing time, including Chargers quarterback Billy Volek, running [...]
