This is the second installment of Your Monday Afternoon General Manager's observations and opinions on the Sunday afternoon/evening NFL games.
1. The Ass Ton of Receivers - In the 15 mock drafts I conducted prior to the draft the Iron Curtain ended up with at least two stud receivers. In some, he had three. In the 100+ mock drafts that Tyler planned on doing, the receivers would have undoubtedly still landed with Iron C. But I in no way saw him having five (maybe six) stud receivers that would start on a lot of teams. Iron Curtain's receiving corp is sickening. For my sanity, as well as the sanity of others, trade at least two of them for a running back. As Tyler would say: trade bait!
2. Snelling vs. The Seaward - Remember playing pickup basketball at Transy and Repass was on the team opposite of your own. Then the team consisting of Repass and others would beat your own team. Even if that team had Brandon and Jimmy you still had trouble explaining how a team with Repass on it could beat your own. Then you would think about it for the next several days trying to piece together the embarrassing loss. That's how Jason is going to feel all week if Witten doesn't score two touchdowns with 100 yards receiving tonight.
3. Still Winless - Jim has already dropped to 0-3 after a battle against winning with John. While some of the talk last week was how Tyler's team was still good even though they were 0-2, I seem to be in the Jim camp on this one. I think Jim's got a good team, but just can't seem to get any more production from Shockey or Graham. The Leftwich start blew up in Jim's face, and I'm honestly surprised he still has a home in this league. Unless Steve Smith outscores Felix Jones by 20 it will also send Tyler to 0-3 and as a byproduct several text messages sent my way using the f-bomb.
4. 3-0 - are Brandon and Ben who seem to be clicking on all cylinders at this point. Ben's team looks phenomenal with the return of Thomas and the emergence of Vincent Jackson as Rivers' favorite target. Brandon is also on a roll. The Lesean McCoy handicap was a thing of art. He is really showing a lot of us how to fantasy this year. Tyler, get a pen and pad and take some notes. Scott has a pretty stacked team and could easily get his third win tonight. It makes me sick.

That analogy sums it up perfectly. In fact, I'm going to refer to this phenomenon as being "Repassed." I can hear the feminine scream echoing in my nightmares.
ReplyDeleteFor anyone who isn't aware, Brandon's team will face mine in Week 5, the same week that Brees, Forte, and Jennings are on bye. So I'm doing my part to pave his way to an undefeated season.
For those of you that remember, I was "Repassed" throughout my entire sophomore year...while living on the Pike Hall. Add this with songs of showtunes, singing/humming along to every song I played, and you can imagine my experience. And as ugly as my Shawn Marion-esque shot is, I think he takes the cake with his shot. I honestly cannot think of one game where he didn't have a shot that hit nothing but the backboard. To take the analogy one step further, it was like Phillip Seymour Hoffman playing against Ben Stiller in Along Came Polly....anyone?
