JUST SAYIN’

JUST SAYIN’

By John Cooney

Hey Coach Gase! Not impressed… not impressed at all. Your gang looks disorganized, undisciplined, and confused. No Peyton Manning around to prop up that rep this time.

If the Bengals get this Redzone thing figured out… LOOK OUT! Big Red and company have been knocking on the door enough but are having trouble finding the keys.

You know that game manager QB out there in Kansas City? Yeah, that Alex Smith guy that nobody wants on their fantasy roster… might want to dig a little deeper into what’s going on in Arrowhead. Smith is on pace to chuck it 672 times this season. At his current pace, he’ll pass his career mark of 509 throws around week 12.

After 4 weeks of action Alex Smith is 4^th among NFL QBs in pass attempts (168); 2^nd in completions (109). Now if he can only start knocking home TD throws, we got something there, folks.

I know there are a bunch of KC Chiefs crazies out there. Treat yourself to some great reads and opinions about the KC team at ARROWHEADONE.COM. Ladner Morse, creator and Chief of the site, has assembled a unique and fresh group of writers focusing on all things Chiefs. WWW.ARROWHEADONE.COM … let Laddie know PASS sent ya!

The Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away. Detroit rookie RB Dwayne Washington got his unexpected shot at big time snaps thanks to the injury to Ameer Abdullah, and knocking Zach Zenner to the side. D-Wash is already hurt and here comes Zenner.

And another thing Coach Gase, any benching threats in the future will ring darn hollow after that fiasco you created by naming Damien Williams the starter over all of your other backs, then not even getting Williams on the field until the second series.

Honestly, Miami is looking darn messy. Remember Coach, Not For Long… get it together.

Did you know the Packers have just 2 running backs on the active roster? Yep! Eddie Lacy and James Starks. Undrafted Don Jackson is the only RB on the practice squad.

FANTASY FOOTBALL MASTERMIND: THE CHAMPIONSHIP FACTORY!

Mike Nazarek and a select group of senior fantasy writers have been laying the foundation of championship campaigns for years. Trust me, the various packages are well-worth the investment. In this business, you truly get what you pay for. DON’T DREAM ABOUT A TITLE-WINNING SEASON, GET THERE! MAKE 2016 PAY FOR YOU BY SUBSCRIBING TO FANTASY FOOTBALL MASTERMIND.

Since 2010 the Pack has had 17 undrafted rookies make the active roster for week 1. IN-case you’re wondering, Don Jackson (Nevada) goes 5’10-205, runs a 4.5-forty with a 1.59 ten-yard get-off. Shies for 38 ½” and does a 9’10” broad jump. Gained over 1000 yards at Nevada at a so-so 4.7 yards a pop. Scored 8 rushing TDs, but only snared 7 passes out of the backfield… so now you know.

Too much too soon for Odell Beckham. He’s tasted a boatload of success and celebrity in such a short time that he suddenly can’t handle on-field adversity. Let it go Odell! You’re a good guy and worked hard to get where you are… Let it Be!

It’s been 5 games since Beckham has tasted the endzone.

Uh, Vikes’ TE Kyle Rudolph has hit paydirt is 3 straight.

Prior to the game and during the National Anthem in Minnesota, about 50 soldiers and military folks were part of the presentation. Right after the last note was sung, Odell Beckham ran up to each and every one of them, shook their hands in thanks and made sure they knew his sincerity. He’s a good dude and he’ll get it figured out.

He just ain’t lookin’ right on the field. Golden Tate is dropping passes and failing to YAC. The offense is a fit for his field chops, so what gives GT?

Justin Forsett’s roster clip is all Coach Harbaugh wanting rookie Kenneth Dixon carrying the Ravens’ mail. Forsett’s mud-rushing didn’t force Harbaugh to think too hard about the move.

Moody blues about to hit Chicago soon, and I’m not talking about the rock-n-rollers of way-back. Coach Fox says Jay Cutler stand-in Brian Hoyer can keep the starting gig if he’s playing well, even when Cutler is back and ready to play. Can you just see the mush on Cutler’s face already?

Chiefs’ fleet rookie WR Tyreek Hill has scored an offensive TD 2 of his first 4 NFL games. One 2, watch gang!

Yes, it occurred during an old-fashioned beat-down, but PITT WR Sammie Coates is fast-becoming Ben Roethlisberger’s second read after Antonio Brown. When a dynamic talent catches a wave of confidence, (and he has!), big things follow. Surf’s up on Sammie Coates!

Speaking of Sammy… Bradford looks darn good in purple. He finally has found a home and Coach Norv Turner is the perfect “home-maker” for Bradford’s skills. BTW, that is a title-winning defense up there in Minnesota! And a tip of the cap to Bradford’s backup, Shaun Hill. Hill and Bradford were teammates in St. Louis. Wanna know how Sam was able to absorb the Viking playbook so quickly? Thank Shaun Hill.

Say or believe what you want, but there is something special and spiritual going on in Philly. These guys have taken to prayer and a faith fellowship. 3-0, with a rookie QB and some of the fastest healing of injuries we’ve seen. Hmmm!

Weapon… Terrelle Pryor. OUTSTANDING!

You know the line… not perfect, but darn excellent.

JUST SAYIN’!
