Vipers vs. Guardians

Matt McGloin was serviceable

The defense dominated - Ben Heeney all over the place

Marc Trestman kicking a 23-yard field goal down 17 (Note: I actually messed up on how bad this was, because 17 points is still a two-score game because you can go for 3, so it’s actually even worse than I mentioned on the podcast)

Aaron Murray sucks

FREE QUINTON FLOWERS

Dragons vs. Defenders

I think Seattle is going to struggle with Silvers at quarterback

I know everybody was freaking out about Proehl but only 5 catches on 10 targets.

Will Sutton half a sack and QB hit, is he BACK?

Cardale is DA GAWD

Bradley Sylve got a pick, a guy we were both high on coming into this.

Battlehawks vs. Renegades

Battlehawks defense is for real

I really like Demornay Pierson-El

Ta’amu is more legs than arm

Hal Mumme’s offense concerns me.

Philip Nelson is the least exciting quarterback in the league

Flynn Nagel is their scrappy wide receiver

Roughnecks vs. Wildcats

LaTroy Lewis with two sacks

PJ Walker - MVP? - I’d slow down a bit on that talk

James Butler, Iowa boy, two touchdowns and a big return (after muffing it)

Sammie Coates - two catches on nine targets

Shawn Oakman got a sack.

Nelson Spruce is probably the early favorite for offensive player of the year.

1-3, only the Defenders

My picks: Defenders over Guardians

Vipers over Dragons

Renegades over Wildcats

Roughnecks over Battlehawks
