The NFL season exists better within my own head. My ruminations and desires waiting to be confirmed by reality. The things I want to see are always better than the things I see. The Bengals defensive line. Baltimore figuring out the sideline passing game. The run game gaining strength as teams get lighter and faster and empty the box. Seeing Brandin Cooks, Davis Mills, and Jordan Akins in a David Culley offense. Come on now.
Currently, the 2021 NFL season exists only in our heads, as we piece together the newest rookie classes and free agent jersey changes, and try and see what this may look like.
