FOOTBALL IS BACK BABY!!!

     Alright I know it is just the hall of fame game which is really more for just show then actually getting a good look at some players. But, nevertheless tonight marks the beginning of the 2014 NFL season. Over the next four weeks we will all be glued to social media trying to get updates on every camp and find out who will position battles and get that staring job. And like always there are many interesting ones that will heat up over the course of the next month.
                                                       
     We will have a close eye on the QB battle in Cleveland between Brian Hoyer and the much talked about rookie Johnny Manziel; the QB battle in Jets camp between Geno Smith and Mike Vick, along with many others that are sure to excite.
   So tonight in the Hall of Fame game we have the Buffalo Bills vs the New York Giants. The giants are looking to bounce back this season especially Eli Manning and the Bills are trying to end a dreadful playoff drought and much of their success will hinge on the play of QB EJ Manuel. Tonight we should see the starters play a couple of series at most and then watch the backups go all out in an effort to assure themselves a spot on the roster.
     Since I'm a big Bills fan I will note some battles to keep an eye on are on the offensive line as there will be many moving parts with Center Eric Wood really being the only "no question" starter right now with usual LT Cordy Glenn on the non football injury list. One other thing to watch is who will step up at the WR position after rookie Sammy Watkins and second year man Robert Woods. Keep an eye on Mike Williams, speedster Marquise Goodwin and player favorite Chris Hogan.
 
Also stay tuned on my blog and Google+ as I will be beginning my own version of 32 teams in 32 days tomorrow with a look at the Arizona Cardinals. Come back each day as I will be diving into every team examining things like position battles, depth charts, key players, and a season outlook
