Observations, critiques and general
thoughts about Week 4 in the NFL:
- Vick has to slide instead of taking that huge hit. While he was trying to make a play, as a quarterback, you have to do what you can to stay on the field. And getting hit like that will definitely keep you out of the lineup. For all of you Kolb fans, looks like you get your wish.
- Peyton Hillis looks like Mike Alstott 2.0.
- Jacksonville ALWAYS either plays Indianapolis close or beats them. Not sure how Jacksonville can lose the way they have this year and then can turn around and take it to Indy. Jack Del Rio clearly has the formula for beating Indy; too bad that formula doesn’t extend to him beating the rest of the league.
- Even after losing their #2 and #3 quarterbacks, Pittsburgh is in great shape at 3-1 AND they get Roethlisberger back. Not bad when you think that most of the talking heads had Pittsburgh at either 2-2 or 1-3.
- Did you see the move that LT put on Dante Whitner? The critics will say he put up 100+ yards on a bad team. For someone who was “washed up” in San Diego, putting up 100 yards and having the type of impact that he’s had for the Jets, LT has more than a little left in the tank.
- Sam Bradford looks better than I thought he would AND he’s doing it with a bunch of no name receivers. Granted, his last two games have come against suspect defenses (Washington and Seattle) but he’s managed the game well.
- The Giants had 9 sacks - in the first half? Either their defense is stepping up or Chicago is extremely overrated.
- More teams should have ignored the media’s blacklisting and given T.O. another look. He is still a beast and he could have made a difference for a number of teams this year.
- Arizona looks terrible. Letting Anquan Boldin go was a bad move. Looks like letting Leinart go was a bad move as well.
- That hit that Ryan “All Terrain” Torrain put on Quentin Mikell was worthy of the numerous replays. RBs running over safety’s are always classic moments.
