So wrote Chargers.com staffer Scott Yoffe, adding considerably to the already growing buzz surrounding the third-year man. Mathews rushed for 1,091 yards in 2011 and added 455 as a pass-catcher to become just the 14th player in team history to top 1,500 total yards from scrimmage, earning the Chargers' offensive player of the year award. And now, HC Norv Turner continues to make one thing very clear: Mathews is going to be busy. "We're going to give Ryan everything he can handle," said Turner of his expectations for Mathews. "Ryan is going to get an opportunity to play a lot of football and he's grown over the last two years, developing like a young player should. ..." Asked by Yoffe if he's ready to deliver, Mathews only needed a few words to answer. "I'm ready. Yeah, I'm ready."
