There's no reason to believe that this generations "LT" will not continue to improve..a new coach will immediately put More pressure on the teams best talents...The question is can "LT" handle a more aggressive active participation..can he handle more carries,,and how good is his back-up.. If they have failed to fill that position well, they may be more careful with "LT". I say he will be more or equally successful, but certainly not lessor!

Possibly. There is no way Norv will haev a bad affect on his ability to play, since he is a great offensive-minded coach. The O-line from last year is coming back, and Marcus McNeill will have more experience from his outstanding performance last year when playing left tackle. I'm not quite sure if he can repeat his record season, but he will be one of the elite players in the league still.

I think LT will be just as good as last year if not better. Not only is the entire o-line returning this year but he is also being lead by a man who's known for making running backs shine, that being Norv Turner. Granted Turner hasn't had the greatest success as a head coach but the same time he is still very well known for his ability to have a very positive effect on his team's run game. I look for LT to come very close to his record from last year if not break it again.

No. Ladainian Tomlinson will not be as good as he was last year. He will be BETTER. Remember that Norv Turner was the offensive coordinator for the Cowboys during their Super Bowl wins. Who ironically, have the same offensive set up as the Chargers do today. Tomlinson is the all around best football player in the league. Hands down. But what makes him incredible is that he was one of the classiest guys you'll ever meet off field. Can't say that about half of the NFL.

LT will always have good season, I think he will have a little bit less than last year. I don't think that Norv Turner won't have an affect pn LT ability to play because LT is a play maker and they will win games with LT. Turner will try to throw the ball more because now you have Antonio Gates, Vincent Jackson and Craig Davis who can help you with the passing game and give LT a break with the running. So yeah I think LT will have a good year like last year

He'll have a good season, but not nearly the season as last year. You can bank on him not having 31 TDs, although Charger fans will tell you otherwise, I'm sure. It is very hard to duplicate similar success after a season like the one LT had last year. He will have a great year being on a great offense, with an offensive-minded coach, but nothing like last year.

He'll be as good this year as last year. I don't think he'll see the end zone as many times, but he'll score plenty. I think his line stayed relatively the same. He should be a focal point in the offense again, as he is every year. The new coach shouldn't have any effect on his play. It's pretty easy to feed him the ball, or get it to him out of the back field. He's the most versatile back in the NFL right now. Run, catch, heck even throw the ball. He can do it all.

He won't be any less talented, but it's hard for any player to repeat that kind of success. He's going to be the best RB in the league again this year, but I don't think he'll put up numbers as good as he had last year. He'll probably get close on the rushing yards, but so many things have to come together just right for him to have a repeat 30+ TD season.

The new coach won't have an affect on his ability to play. The opposing defenses will have more time to scheme defenses to limit his success.
Also, it is difficult to maintain such high performance from season to season. While he has been improving statistically each year he has been in the league, eventually he will have to reach a peak and decline somewhat.

LT should have no problem repeating what he did last year. Norv Turner was the offensive coordinator for the Chargers in 2001 which was LTs rookie season so they already have a history.
