Hi guys. I'm back.
So now that the two sides have broken off any and all talks, there really isn't much going on inside the league. Instead, we get to watch all the potential draft picks and their every move. There is plenty of analysis going around, lots of ranking and mock drafts being posted.
We all feel that Norv Turner could be more aggressive, right? Well, now you can use Football Outsiders as a source to back up your opinion.
The big news right now, honestly, is the Madden '12 cover voting. Every site out there that even mentions NFL has some story about the Madden '12 cover votes. As it stands, Philip Rivers and Adrian Peterson are facing off, and I have to believe that Peterson is winning the vote. So, if you want to see Philip Rivers on the cover of Madden '12 (curse be damned!), follow the link in the list below and go vote for him!
On to the links!

Aggressiveness Index Update | FOOTBALL OUTSIDERS
If there's anything that statistical analysis in football has proved, it is that coaches are far too timid on fourth down. In fact, statistical analysis has proved this over and over and over again. It's been done. So is anybody listening?
Chargers Head Coach Norv Turner remains upbeat as the draft approaches. The coaching staff is focused on using the extra time to find ways to get better.
