Around SBN: NFL Week One: Previews and Predictions for all 15 games

Serious Business: 12/31 Chargers Links

CHARGERS NOTES: Hardwick doesn't miss a beat in return
Seeing Hardwick running free and blocking strong was a surprising sight, considering he'd been out 15 weeks with an ankle injury that required surgery to repair.

Whistling past the graveyard - Mile High Report
Is it the O Line? Orton? Or McDaniels? I say it's all three... McDaniels: There's an expression. It's called trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. And for 15 weeks and four pre-season games we have seen McDaniels try and turn a small, zone blocking line into a power running line. This was doomed from the start. You can't scheme size and the line is not built for what McD wants.

Scramble for the Ball: Ratedness
Mike: Honestly, I'm not sure what it means, but it does highlight the need for non-statistical evaluation, even when you have tools as good as DYAR and DVOA.

LT still spry, thanks to Sproles - SignOnSanDiego.com
Darren Sproles, a 5-foot-6 Hercules known to his family and friends as Tank, might prove to be more valuable to the Chargers this season than even his NFL-leading 2,279 all-purpose yards would suggest.

D.C. Sports Bog - Norv Turner on Snyder and the Redskins
"I think we all know at some point, you're going to move on," Norv Turner said on the day he was fired from the Redskins. "It's time for me to move on." In advance of this weekend's Chargers-Redskins game, Turner did a conference call with the D.C. media on Wednesday.

Spanos credits Turner for turnaround
"It’s the players on the field obviously, but the catalyst that makes it all happen is the head coach. He’s the one that directs the team; he’s the one that puts the game plans together. He gives them the direction and the means to go out there, but they still have to go play. I think the catalyst for the whole thing is Norv Turner. It starts with him."

I’m still torn between this and the Lightning Bolt one…

We still gotta fix the perception that Li’l Tankie leads the league in all-purpose yardage.

Banned from Arrowhead Pride... and Music City Miracles certainly don't like me very much, either.

I really don’t care that much. All-purpose yards is such a ridiculous stat. It’s basically won by whoever touches the ball the most in any given season.

I doubt he has that much ill will

He had a good run there and didn’t really get much done. I could see how a guy like Marty would hold a grudge (he called the Redskins dysfunctional and basically a terrible organization while working for ESPN only to take a job there and get fired after a year), but I would bygones are bygones for Norval and the ’skins.

I'm the first person to admit that I'm wrong about a lot of things, but I'm going to be the last person to admit I'm wrong about what we're currently talking about.
