Just to take an occasional break from the wailing and gnashing of teeth over Auburn football, you can putcher NFL stuff here. A couple of general observations early in the season.
A-A-Ron Blake Rodgers is a bad man. 5 more TD passes last night. But the thing is, while I'm not a Green Bay fan or hater for that matter, it's to the point that if he's playing, I'm gonna' watch. He's developed to the point that he just does what he wants. His passes are pinpoint, no matter what angle or position he's throwing from. It's like Brady. I'm the same way with him and the Pats. Don't really care either way, but I was pulling for them in the Super Bowl just because I just dislike the Seasquawks so much. But Brady, with the improved grip on the ball, was just plain fun to watch. Hit every receiver in stride no matter what the situation. Same with Mr. Discount Double Check now.
Favorite all time QB to watch though, is/was Manning, especially in his prime. If you think about what this guy has done all these years, I can't think of another QB that has that freedom. It's back yard foosballz on steroids. He walks up to the line and literally creates a play. Through all the jibberish and code words, he's saying, "You run this route. The LB is playing there so you run this route. The corner is playing press man so sprint to the azalea bush and do a button hook." Love watching it.
Sorry for the Falcons/Bama reference. Nauseating to some. But Julio is just killing it. In 3 games he has 34 receptions for 440 yards and 4 TD's. He owned the Cowboys Sunday. He's on pace to blow several records out of the water, although I don't expect it to last given his history of injuries. WAAA WAAAAAA....
Speaking of injuries and the Cowboys. They done!
