San Diego Chargers strong safety Bob Sanders joined "The World of Sports" on XTRA 1360 this week. Here are some of the quotes from the interview.

How much change do you need to make going from the Indianapolis Colts to the San Diego Chargers?

I've been in the league seven years now and it's tough going from a different team, but really everything, a lot of it is the same. You know the terminology is different, you know the way we move around is a little bit different. It's just getting back to doing the little details and making sure I'm sharp in my alignments and my assignments. It's still football, but it is tough being away from it so long.

How different are the two organizations?

A lot of the things are similar, some little things here and there may be a little different but, you gotta expect that. You gotta expect things not to be the same. You've got different personalities, you've got the way things are handled by the team, you know the leaders of the team, the captains, those things so, there are some similarities, but there are differences and you've got to be able to adjust.

When did you discover you were going to be a hard hitter?

It probably started when I started playing little league, when I was about 12 years old.

About the Chargers being a finesse team

Being here now, I know firsthand we are not a finesse team, that we are physical and that we are going to be physical.

the back tackler

feels so good to see somebody fill out that 31 jersey. i can’t wait to see sanders blast right though a running back, and send him flying back behind the line of scrimmage… opposed to cro sprinting up, stopping, turning and trying to tackle/fall on somebody using his back.

if you lob it up, we’ll take a shot at it...

Yes, Cromartie mastered the art of the “rag doll”

Cromartie the whiff master

I will never forgive Cro for his horrible lack of effort during the playoff game against the Jets. He intentionally missed tackles and watched Shonn Green run right by him. He’s petrified of hitting. You will never see Sanders do that.

Are Marlon McCree and Antonio Cromartie the same person? Just askin'.

Let's all remember...

Sanders has been plagued by injuries for the last few seasons. I’m stoked to have him on the team, but he’s not going to do any of the things you’re all talking about if he isn’t on the field. I’d give it a couple regular season games before I got overly excited about having him back there.
