Quick Observations For Every NFL Team From Week One

Green Bay Packers – Aaron Rodgers is the most dangerous man in football

This is nothing new to me. Aaron Rodgers has pulled off stuff like this throughout the years and you can never count him and the Packers out, but it’s been a while since I last saw him work his magic. After being carted off and seeing his team go down by three touchdowns, it was time for the King of the North to take over once again. You could clearly tell that Rodgers had trouble moving and he was playing on guts, but he just carved that Bears defense up from the pocket. That bomb to the back of the end-zone to Geronimo Allison was amazing and I know Randall Cobb gained 65 yards of that 75-yard touchdown after the catch, but even that ability to understand how he will adjust his route where the ball has to be put was surgical. When you don’t put this man away, there is always a chance he will do unbelievable things.

Houston Texans – Deshaun Watson is not totally back yet

Deshaun Watson was so incredibly impressive in his injury-shortened rookie campaign that it was almost unfair to expect him to continue that trend in 2018. Going toe-for-toe with Tom Brady and Russell Wilson in shootouts on his way to scoring 20 touchdowns in six starts put him in the national spotlight before tearing his ACL in practice. In his much-anticipated return as a second-year player he didn’t look the same. Watson put his eyes down on the rush way too often instead of keeping them downfield to make plays. He showed a lack of decisiveness and accuracy down the field. Not only did he complete only 50 percent of his passes, he also threw a pretty bad pick when he was late and short on a deep ball to the end-zone. With that being said, he didn’t seem to have trouble moving around and he had his team in position to make a late comeback. So let’s see how quickly he can get back to himself mentally.
