NFL Bromance Tandems to look forward to this Season


Fox Sports just posted a list of most dynamic duos. These are my dynamite duos to watch out for this season.

Romo and Bryant

According to Fox Sports, he is targeted 138 times by Romo, and also Jerry Jones. Ha Sorry I had to. Bryant has remained out of the spotlight and seems to have it all together this off season; however, he just rested for the another day today because of a sore hip. Let’s hope that is not going to be chronic. It is time for Bryant to put up the numbers he is capable of. His expectations are so high, and they should be. The Boys’ have such a huge investment in him, that he should be the most dominant threat for their team every single quarter, not just the fourth.

On the competing side, Manning and Cruz
                
Cruz has not missed a game since 2011 - too bad for my Cowboys who get killed by his route running and Terrance Newman, but he has been let go so maybe the Boys’ have a chance against Cruz this year. I am not going to lie, I did not give Manning credit until his most recent Superbowl win, and he was en el fuego. When he and Cruz are connecting, it is lethal for other teams.

Dalton and Green
                
Love, love, love this duo. Dalton did not get enough credit for his performance during his sophomore year. They are the youngest match-up on the scene. I am still considering drafting Green in fantasy just for this one reason. I had him last year and it was spotty, but he always put up points. I expect him to continue to get better and push Dalton.  

Kaepernick and Davis

Vernon Davis will have to fill a void at WR with Michael Crabtree being sidelined at least until November. Davis has been lining up with WR’s at training camp. He is quick, has good feet and with his build, he is difficult to tackle.  I don’t know about you, but I trust anything Jim Harbaugh comes up with.

Brees and Colston
                
Brees led the NFL in passing yards, and Colston received 16.1 percent of those passes. The percentage continues to increase, making Colston his go-to-guy. The other positive about this duo this season, is Sean Payton is back on the sideline. Payton makes a huge difference with this team, and after the way the “Bounty Program” was handled, I am sure the Saints are out for vengeance.

Manning and Welker
               
This list had Manning and Thomas, and I am more interested in Manning and Welker, because of not only the Texas Tech background, but the fact that Welker already has said he feels more comfortable in Denver. Welker has always been a factor and will most definitely go into the HOF, and I expect him to put up just as good, if not better, with the Broncos. Manning is not as familiar with Welker as he is with Thomas, but I think what the Broncos were missing was a playmaker, and Welker can be that for Manning. And honestly, Manning needs very little transition time with Welker, he can connect with anyone.

Cutler and Marshall
                
It’s about time Cutler rises to the occasion. With a new coach, Marc Trestman, it will be interesting to see if this duo can thrive or if it will be a transition season for "DA BEARS." Brandon Marshall and Cutler go way back, but in my opinion, Marshall is what makes Cutler look good.

Stafford and Johnson
               
Need I say more? The list online listed them as number one duo, and I would most definitely have to agree. I don’t think it will be the most interesting, because obviously they gel together, but it will be impressive to see if MEGATRON can continue to put up the numbers, with an added running game to open the pass. The lions have not had a strong running game nor did they score many points last season, so most pressure fell on Stafford connecting to Johnson to get in the endzone. I am a huge believer in having a strong running game, to open up the pass and then you get to enjoy the 40 yard throw connecting to Megatron and him running it in.

In closing: why is everyone getting season-ending injuries during training camp? Seriously.
Oh, and Jonny “football” Manziel, was kicked out of a UT frat party. I would hope the same would happen at Tech, and then A&M can talk about how “classy” UT and Tech are, while Manziel keeps rolling in a Benz….yeah…That is all.
