Football is a game of big hits and bone crushing tackles. A certain block in yesterday's Chargers - Jaguars game is receiving special attention. Maurice Jones Drew completely dominates Shawne Merriman in a goal line play. Merriman is famous for his use of performance enhancing drugs and it seems like he was definitely lacking some performance enhancement in this play. Check out the clip here.

By testing positive for performance enhancing drugs during his standout 2006 season, San Diego Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman set himself up for increased scrutiny in '07 – including from within his own locker room. Some San Diego players are questioning whether "Lights Out" is the same player as he was before the positive test, and watching him get waxed by Jaguars halfback Maurice Jones-Drew on a third quarter touchdown pass in Jacksonville's 24-17 victory surely did nothing to dissuade them. "I don't see people doubling him or chipping to account for him this year," one Chargers player said of Merriman last week. "There's no question Shaun Phillips is our best pass rusher right now."
