LT: Chargers need to get Mathews a partner
Ryan Mathews - RB - San Diego Chargers
Jan. 29, 2013 - 7:05 PM ET

NFL Network analyst and ex-Charger LaDainian Tomlinson thinks the Chargers need to get a complementary back to pair with Ryan Mathews.

We haven't had a Chargers post in ten days, and this is the most interesting item to come out in that time frame. "Ryan has shown it's hard for him to stay healthy in the type of workload that he's had. So now, get somebody to help him. I still think he's a tremendous talent, but he needs some help in taking some of that workload off of him," said Tomlinson. The Chargers tried Jackie Battle and Ronnie Brown in that role in 2012, but they aren't realistic options moving forward.
