Week 4 Prescription Notes
β I donβt have a problem with Colts HC Frank Reich going for it on fourthΒ down in Overtime. Yes, his team lost the game, but who really wants a game to end in a tie anyway? QBΒ Andrew LuckΒ had been on fire all game long and threw a bad pass. The upside is that RBΒ Nyheim HinesΒ gets better with every passing week and should be a huge part of the teamβs offensive plans moving forward.
β The Giants continue to play horrible football. Even worse, is that they cannot seem to get WRΒ Odell Beckham Jr.Β involved in their offense. OBJ is one of the three best receivers in the league and OC Mike Shula needs to devise ways to get him open. Speaking of Shula, he was a disaster calling plays in Carolina and could never getΒ Christian McCaffreyΒ in open space. If the Giants want to compete, Pat Shurmur may have to start calling the plays soon.
β Losing TEΒ Tyler EifertΒ is going to be a big loss for the Bengals, but itβs something the team has had to live with before.Β Tyler KroftΒ andΒ C.J. UzomahΒ are respectable backups, and Kroft has a good rapport withΒ Andy Dalton, but I think that Eifertβs injury makes WRTyler BoydΒ even more critical to their offense.
β Do you have any doubts about Patriots RBΒ Sony Michel? I donβt. I think itβs clear thatΒ James WhiteΒ is the teamβs pass-catching back, but so long as the Patriots are playing with a lead, Michel should be good for 20 carries each week.
