Gates game time decision, I bet he plays

The Chargers probably won't know until right before kickoff Nov. 27 whether record-setting tight end Antonio Gates will be able to play against the Washington Redskins.
Even if Gates doesn't practice this week, there's still a chance he could play, coach Marty Schottenheimer said. Schottenheimer used to have a rule that if a player didn't practice during the week, he didn't play.
"That old rule, that's part of the things that I've changed as I've grown older and -- in the minds of some -- soft," Schottenheimer joked.

Unfortunately I have to assume that he'll play. I can't see him sitting out. Either way containment of L.T. is still my #1 priority on sunday.

As long as Sean Taylor is playing I hope Gates plays. Our problem hasn't been containing the superstars, it's been containing the 2# and 3# wideouts. That's sad. Shame on Walt Harris.

you really don't mean you hope he plays do you?, i hope the exact opposite, even if we do contain big players sean will do a better job against their number two than against the number 1 TE in the game right now.
Cooley and Gates, the battle
