Your NFL-Quality Football Fixture: An Open Thread

Look, at least they’re wearing pads and such so that we can pretend, right? It’s a scrimmage on steroids but we have to stretch our eyeball muscles as well.  And who among doesn’t need a little Easton Stick in their lives? I haven’t done this in a while so bear with me…

Tru Da Gamble!

Nope, that’s not it.

Two Le Contest!

That’s not it either.

To The Game! (nailed it)

Chargers/Lions:

-Remember when Goff had that sorta bridge QB status until Detroit found a real guy to put under center? Hendon Hooker, he of the gaudy stats in college had some folks thinking that they’d found the replacement. Oh well. We’ll also get a peek at Trey Lance, who everyone has talked about forever and he’s just 25. Folks, don’t draft a QB that’s got all of 12 college games under his belt.

-Another fella we’ll see calling signals will be the Chargers DJ “The Human Vowel” Uiagalelei!

-Coincidence? Both teams are 2-3 in their last five tilts.

-Can I Look At The Rooks?: Dan Campbell says, “Chew on this-I’m not playing the 1st and 2nd round picks.”

-We will see Lions wideout Isaac TeSlaa-despite being prone to software glitches and battery degradation in rookie mini camp, he will try to earn a place in the wr room.

-Speaking of that spot, now that stalwarts Mike Williams and Keenan Allen are gone, it’s interesting to see how that unit will shake out. The young Ladd acquitted himself nicely last year and now LA is looking for someone to fill the slot spot-Tre Harris has the job off the hop.

-There was a bit of talk as to whether the Lions SB window was closing, what with them losing both their OC and DC but as I mentioned at some point Campbell should have seen this coming last year and prepared for it. I think that most of that yakking was offseason chatter fodder. One reason is that-looking over a few Detroit sites-there’s not a single position battle for starter on either side of the ball. Everything is in place. I wonder what the hell that would be like, Jeezuz!

Welcome back, everyone!
