ET80 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 We're about a day away from the Wednesday night tilt between the Carolina Panthers and the Houston Texans! Otherwise known as... The @fretgod99 vs the @EliteTexan80 Bowl! (@iPwn isn't allowed). So, who would like to see...the first ever SIG BET on the site? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? I know fret is always game for a sig bet...and I'm down as well, so let us know how it should go down! A few other things to check out for this game: This game will be the return of three time DPOY JJ Watt, who missed all of last season with a ruptured disk in his back. Does Watt show any hesitation out on the field? Is his ultra violent game on the downswing after such a significant injury? The Texans made a significant investment in the draft, trading away a 2018 1st round pick to select QB Deshaun Watson. Watson is slated to serve as the backup QB in this game; Does the dynamic playmaker from Clemson get chances to make big plays against a tough Panthers D? Speaking of dynamic playmakers, Carolina drafted arguably the most dynamic playmaker in the draft with the selection of Christian McCaffery with the #4 pick in the draft, because the Panthers were not the worst team in football, but they were close. Does the Swiss Army Knife get a lot of work against Watt, Jadevion Clowney and the #1 defense in the NFL? QB Cam Newton is currently inactive, leaving the offense in the hands of veteran QB Derek Anderson. What does the Panthers O look like without their field general at their disposal? Should be a fun game to watch. FOOTBALL IS BACK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadpulse Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Im actually psyched for this one. Not sure how much I am going to be able to watch but I am curious about Watson and what he shows. I want to see what packages the Panthers put Christian in. Carolina fans, do the Panthers typically put guys in positions that reflect their regular season role in the pre-season?

Corrected it for you, @fretgod99. There's a sense of shame when you have the #2 pick in the draft. Ask @iPwn, he should know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gnat Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 On national TV? I wouldn't mind seeing Deshaun Watson play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly think we might see a lot of him - possibly two quarters worth. He'll be working with the likes of Wendell Williams and Jaelen Strong, so not exactly Hopkins, but he'll be working against the #2 guys. This being said, I'm thinking they're going to see what D'Onta Foreman can do. Power running inside is perhaps the biggest weakness of the offense... And yes @The Gnat - will be on NFLN and ABC.

The Gnat Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Sweet, I'll have to watch at least some of it. Hopefully not miss much Watson time. I do need to get to the gym today. I'm ready for some football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET80 Posted August 9, 2017 Author Share Posted August 9, 2017 Just now, cddolphin said: He's actually playing? If so, why? Watt will play, according to O'Brien. I think part of it is to get some rust knocked off against someone other than Kendall Lamm. It's a huge risk, I'm not very comfortable with the idea.

Having the 3rd pick just brings up feelings of inadequacy, question about what you're doing in life. @iPwn has been asking the same questions for the last 44 years. Wish I could help, but the Texans have never picked below 29th. So, I dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
