Your Mid-Afternoon Sporty Open Thread

We have two games later so plop your thoughts down here while we wait. Speaking of, I’ve watched the highlights and looked at the box scores for the games yesterday and here’s a few observations which don’t mean much at all.

Caleb Williams:

He looked half-decent in limited play. The two times that the pocket collapsed (get used to it) he didn’t panic and made a play. The Bears staff would no doubt have been happy simply with him throwing the ball away but he wasn’t satisfied with doing that. He’s slippery-that’ll come in handy, yes sir.

Giants O-line:

Huzzah! They were cromulent. That’s a great step forward. They created passing lanes but still had a small amount of trouble pass protecting. Speaking of that panic-y pick six thrown by Dimes, fans just have this last year to endure him under center. Training camp superstar Malik Nabers looks good. His talent should lift that whole unit.

Josh Johnson:

That 38 yr-old dog was a perfect 11 for 11 yesterday. He’s carved out quite the career for a fifth-round pick that was drafted way back in 2008. God, we were so much younger then.

John Metchie III:

The Texan popped to the tune of 6 grabs and a TD. You’ll recall he missed his rookie year with an ACL injury and his second while recovering from cancer. He finally got on the field last year but played sparingly. He was a second rounder out of Alabama so the pedigree is there. If he continues to make progress Houston will have the deepest wide receiver room in the league. Btw, he was born in Taiwan and raised in Brampton, Ontario.

Laviska Shenault Jr:

He showed up on the box score for Seattle. Remember when he came out of Colorado he was a do-it-all Deebo type. That obviously didn’t pan out as he’s on his third team in five years.

The Colts:

I’ll stick by my notion that they’ll be sneaky good this year.

Later tonight you’ll have the Saints/Niners and Packers/Broncos to occupy your eyeballs. Enjoy your Sunday.
