It’s been mentioned that the stupendous JJ Watt is already living up to his new contract and media hype. He dominated the Redskins yesterday, throttling the slight-framed Robert Gremlin III and his sumo-laden OL. Surprisingly, this Nordic-looking defensive superstar has been treated with great respect by the media. In his short time in the NFL, he’s been in many TV commercials, NFL promotions, fantasy football promotions, the “Sunday Night Football” theme song, and other national media campaigns. Aside from his meteoric rise as a football star, he’s also good looking, funny, personable, and hails from humble beginnings as a barely-recruited high school athlete and pizza delivery boy. Watt seems like a rare exception in which the Marxist media has neglected to enforce their time-honored custom of never promoting masculine white males in order to capitalize on the great talents of a white athlete. Any why would'nt they? Forget the best defensive player, this guy might be the best overall football player in the NFL...
Watts' Game Stats: One sack, two tackles for loss, one batted ball, five quarterback hits, one blocked extra point and one fumble recovery.
I didn’t see the Eagles-Jaguars game, but Riley Cooper and Brent Celek didn’t seem too involved in the game plan. Same with Amendola for New England. Cole Beasley was on the field plenty for Dallas, amassing 4 catches for 42 yards and converting some key first downs. He could be a Randall Cobb type slot receiver if properly utilized. Edelman had the best outing of all the white WR’s (8 touches, 116 yards) and had a scintillating 44-yard catch (despite an underthrow from Brady)…

Jordy faced the league’s best defense (Seattle) and still managed a decent outing. Look for him to dominate the Jets next week.
I agree with Don that it was a very uninteresting Week 1, with two yawn-inducing match-ups (NYG-DET & SD-ARI) remaining tonight…the latter of which won’t be watched by anyone due to its ridiculously-late start time. A strong performance from Woodhead tonight would be nice, but his playing time varies greatly each game. I doubt Hillis will receive many carries, as he’s essentially the 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] string RB.
