Found October 21, 2011 on NBC San Diego:
For nine seasons, LaDainian Tomlinson was a hit with the San Diego Chargers. On Sunday, LT will get hit by the Chargers. San Diego heads to North Jersey to face Tomlinson and the New York Jets. LT is now used more in the passing game than the running game, but if you get him in the open field the man can still do some damage. Of course, he still has plenty of friends in the Chargers locker room, including defensive back Quentin Jammer, who is looking forward to seeing his old teammate. But Jammer said he has no plans to take it easy on him. “I don’t take it easy on anybody,” said Jammer. “But you know I’ll help him up.” Mike Tolbert explained how there’s a time to be friendly and a time not to be. “We’ll be brothers before and after the game but during the game we got to get him,” said Tolbert.
