The Facts:
Marty Schottenheimer on Saturday said he wants Drew Brees back and believes the Chargers will be even stronger with him. Later, he acknowledged an icy relationship with General Manager A.J. Smith and said he was uncertain if everyone in the organization is pulling in the same direction. "Quite frankly, there hasn't been as much communication as I would like," he said.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The statements were eye-opening because Schottenheimer normally is guarded when speaking about the team or the organization. ... For what it's worth, the coach refused to speculate whether the Chargers would take a step back with Phillip Rivers at QB, instead stressing that he'd like to have all three of his current QBs -- Brees, Rivers and A.J. Feeley -- return for '06.
