Top 10 Performers from Week 1 of the NFL 2017 Regular Season
These guys showed up to play, and man did they make an impact in the path to victory.Ladies and gentleman a legend is born, a mixture of Priest Homes meets Maurice Jones Drew his that special of a running back, and one I did not see coming like this for a debut against the Patriots. He went from a fumble to a bad start to putting on a 100 yard performacen in both rushing and receiving with 3 Touchdowns assisted by Alex Smith, and just owned that defense like they were second rate.
Out with Arionza, and in with the new that being in Jacksonville.. and boy did everyone feel stunned to seee how bad the Texans were on both sides is unheard of. While your probably most likely shocked to not see Flournette sense technically he did run in the face of that defense let's be honest he took advantage right when J.J Watt had to leave the game so whatever, and give the real MVP of this game to Mr. Campbell bringing the heat every time.
What did I tell you would happen when everyone doubts a man last named Watt what do you get a great debut in which T.J got a crucial turning point pick, and 2 sacks to reek havoc on Kizer. Representing what His brother was from 2 years ago.
Can Freeman bail me out... not fully, but got me a spare touchdown... okay what about Sanu... Nope! What about that Gabriel kid... nope! Tevin Coleman? Nope! Who else do we have other than the obvious Julio Jones? Alright then knock myself out, as he stiffs arms twice. Austin Hooper is by no means the fastest Tight End (which his not), but he is one powerhouse of a guy who will move the chains.
You could debate who was better between Smith, and Hunt, but I crap on Alex Smith a lot in this case he stopped playing the game manager crap, and actually played his best game statically against what looked to be the best reigning champs in the Patriots, nobody saw this coming just a remarkable statement for the Chiefs the only bad part that resulted is losing Eric Berry who was excellent at defending the coverage on big Gronk. It could all come down to the Chiefs and Raiders for all I know man.
I just got done watching one of the two Monday night games, and well it proves that Saints still sucking hard on the defense, and that losing Cooks was a big blow for them almost nothing shown offensively until the end with a garbage time touchdown. Meanwhile Diggs got two big touchdowns to seal the game pretty much.
Green Bay was playing great on the defense that whole game which was shocking since they were so terrible on the defensive side of the ball last year giving up less of the big plays make them maybe better than ever, but anything can change. In this case the game was getting very tight until Daniels started to really rattle Wilson real good to the point the Seahawks in this case tapped out in the 4th quarter in a valiant effort.
I give credit when credit is do, and I like seeing Baltimore football when its done with excellent execution. T- sizzle showed us that the reminiscent of that old Ravens defense can be revived after the impact he has show to that defense, and just how much they shut down the Bengals is very impressive.
Nothing taken away from Stafford, but the Lions would have not been dominate in the end if Tavon did not give them life back in the first half towards the beginning of the 2nd quarter when Palmer ended throwing his first of what would be 3 picks that game. Quin and Killebrew deserves credit as well, and after watching that game Detroit has an underrated secondary more specifically a good safety tandem.
This may come as a surprise since he just barely made it, but I look at like this. Sure Sam Bradford was great, but keep in mind he played against a team that predictably was bad on the pass to begin. Same goes for guys like Jared Goff I mean sure the Rams scored 40, but the Colts might just have an even worse passing defense then the Saints great accomplishment Jim Irsay in tanking this year. While guys like Rodgers and Stafford played tremendous as well they both had that one bad pick, and Carr to me played perfect almost against what looked to be a potentially playoff Titans team that got out beat by the Raiders defense ain't that something meanwhile Carr is going in the end zone connecting to his receivers, and you can't stop Carr on this day.
The Legend is back. From a year of running behind one of the worst offensive lines and struggling he's back at the top and ready for a major season with other running backs seeming to be struggling.
