Hi, today I am posting about this weeks upcoming pre-season games! Football is finally back starting this Thursday, tomorrow! I can't wait to get some action! Before we start, here is some quick news: Bills Star Rookie Reggie Ragland out for the season, Chargers WR Stevie Johnson out for the season also. Here are the great games of pre-season week 1:
Hall of Fame Game Colts Vs. Packers:
The first game of the season is always one of the best because everyone is excited to see football. Even though he shouldn't play much, it will be interesting to see how Andrew Luck plays after being injured almost all of last season and then this off-season he signed a deal that made him the highest paid player in NFL history. Will we see some of Jordy Nelson who got hurt in the pre-season last year and ended his season.
Broncos @ Bears:
This will be a great game! Mark Sanchez was named the Broncos starter a few days ago (sorry I forgot to post about that) and so it will be cool to see him play. I am interested to see if rookie QB Paxton Lynch will play, I hope he does because then maybe he could prove himself because he is for sure the best QB on the Broncos roster. Also we can finally see Kevin White on the Bears because he got hurt and was out the whole season last year, he was an early favorite to win rookie of the year. One more thing to add on is these teams are rivals so this is always a great game.
Seahawks @ Chiefs:
This will be a great game. When week 17 was over and the final playoff picture was in, these were my two teams that I said would play in the Super Bowl. The Seahawks have a lot of players coming back from injuries like Thomas Rawls, Jimmy Graham, and others so it will be awesome to see them take the field again. With the Chiefs it will be fun to see Nick Foles play a majority of the snaps since the starting QB Alex Smith probably won't play like most starters. On the Seahawks watch all of their rookie running backs because they drafted a lot of them. Watch receivers Doug Baldwin of the Seahawks and Jeremy Maclin of the Chiefs because they both had breakout years last year so it will be fun to see what they do.
Redskins @ Falcons:
Even though both of these teams aren't the best, they have players that will be fun to watch. Watching Josh Norman play for the Redskins should be exciting, Julio Jones Vs. Josh Norman is always fun. Also the Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson will be exciting to watch and he should be a monster. Jordan Reed has a lot of questions around him but he is supposed to be a beast this season and he shouldn't be in for that much of the game because he is a star. Also since backups play a lot in pre-season games, check out Redskins backup running back Keith Marshall who was the player with the fastest 40 yard dash this year at the combine. On the Falcons watch backup RB Tevin Coleman who is supposed to get more carries this season after a disappointing rookie season.
Here are some other great match-ups without descriptions: Lions @ Steelers, Buccaneers @ Eagles, Jaguars @ Jets, Texans @ 49ers, Browns @ Packers, Cowboys @ Rams, Dolphins @ Giants. Thanks for reading and remember to watch the Hall of Fame game tomorrow, I will have a post about it after the game.
