    After seeing the most extensive work in the preseason in his career, LaDainian Tomlinson thinks the numbers might have been more prolific had the Chargers approached things differently with him. “I’ve always wanted to play, but I’ve been held back by the [Chargers'] coaches,†Tomlinson said of his preseason workload. “I’m not a guy that argues against coaches’ authority, but I’ve always wanted to play. That’s just the way it goes.†When I asked Tomlinson to compare his workload this preseason – he leads the Jets with 129 yards on 22 carries – he said you can’t compare it at all. “This is the most since ‘ever,’ †he said. “Even my rookie year, I only played one preseason game. I came into camp when it was pretty much over. It was two days before the third preseason game. I didn’t play in that game, and I only played one series in the last preseason game.†The Chargers didn’t want to risk injury with Tomlinson in subsequent years, so he remained largely idle in preseason games. In retrospect, he wonders if that hurt not only him but the team, as well. “In years past, not playing in the preseason got me and the team off to a bit of a slow start,†he said.
