LaDainian Tomlinson caught up with
XX 1090’s Scott & BR on Tuesday to talk about the disappointing end to the
Chargers season and his frustrations with the locker room culture.
Amid other topics — including
Vincent Jackson’s game-day traffic incident and his abilities as a feature back — Tomlinson said he wasn’t happy this season and is fed up with the team’s lack of focus.
“There’s a big part of this year where for whatever reason, I didn’t feel connected — as far as the team — the kind of unity, togetherness, family,” Tomlinson said. “I didn’t feel that at times in the season… That was a problem in the locker room.”
“We’re at a point where guys come into the league it’s not about the same values no more,” Tomlinson continued. “It’s not about the things that you’re taught — faith, family football. To them it’s not about that no more… That’s the thing that’s so disappointing to me, is because I can’t deal with that no more. If that’s gonna be allowed. I just can’t deal with that type of stuff.”
