Gates? What happened?

[octagon999]

Did anyone watch the game that could tell me what happened to Gates and his performance?

Once again, it was the LT show...it's not that Gates dropped a bunch of passes or anything. The Chargers are going to have to switch it up every week to have any chance against the good teams they face the rest of the season. There was a similar thread about McCardell...McCardell and Gates will have big games when LT gets shut down or the Chargers fall way behind. I think the coaches are going to try to get LT the ball as much as possible since they win by doing so. I'd still play Gates every week though, as he'll always be used to some effect.

I avoid that problem by have the #1 RB, and #1 TE in my lineup every week. With Tomlinson and Gates starting every week I don't have to worry about the Chargers in the red zone because I know its going to Tomlinson or Gates. Together they put up at least 2 TDs every week, so who gets them doesn't matter to me. Its a nice place to be in.
