Loads of explosiveness on this week’s watchlist including two former MVPs, must-watch hybrids, and key contributors playing in early-season statement games. Get your popcorn ready.
Cameron Brock, Indianapolis AlleyCats
In a postgame interview this past weekend, 12-year UFA vet Cameron Brock commented: “I feel great. Honestly, felt really fast in warmups, felt 25 again. I’m feeling really good.”
The “Swing Pass” co-host is facing his first test of the season this weekend against Atlanta, and I couldn’t be more excited to hear him talk about it in this week’s preview episode and next week’s recap. Brock recorded six goals against Atlanta last year—no one else on the team had more than two in the game—but that was the lone bright spot for Indy in their nine-goal loss. After rumors this offseason (started by Brock himself?) about potentially switching to D-line this year, Brock returned to his O-line cutting role last week against Detroit and it was business as usual: four goals, 30-for-30 on throws, and zero D-points played. With Indy running a new offensive system this year, it’ll be worth watching how Cam and the rest of the O-line continue to gel, and they’ll have a chance to make a statement at home this week against a top five team.
