What to watch Priscos film-study notes o

After watching tape on every team this week, here Trevor Richards Jersey are some of the things that caught my eye and could be a major factor in each of this week's games. I have one nugget for each team in all 14 games coming up Sunday and Monday that could impact what happens on the field in a big way in Week 5.New England at Cleveland The story this week is all about returning, but the defense has to be better as well. The Patriots have struggled on third down this season and the tackling was bad last week against the . When you watched that tape, there were a lot of Patriots defenders on the ground whiffing on tackles. That's unlike them. It was almost everybody, including good tacklers like . He mi sed on a 9-yard run by in the third quarter that should have been a short gain. You can bet that Bill Belichick had that group working on improving their tackling this week. With Brady back, the young Cleveland safeties will be tested. Last week the two safeties were and Derek Kindred. They had some i sues in coverage against the , with Poyer getting beat for a touchdown by . That's what happens with young safeties. Second-year player was starting but mi sed the past two games with a hamstring injury. He was playing well when he was on the field. Whoever plays this week, you can expect Brady to try and go after them and use play-action to take advantage of their aggre sive youthfulne s. Philadelphia at Detroit When the Eagles signed safety , it wasn't a move that got a lot of national buzz. But he's been a heck of a pickup for the Eagles. He has really improved the coverage on the back end, teaming with to give them a nice 1-2 safety combo. Both can play up near the line or in the deep middle. That gives coordinator Jim Schwartz a lot of versatility on the back end.The Lions have major i sues running the football. The middle of the line is a big reason why. They expected to be strong up the middle, but guards and , as well as center , haven't been getting great push in the middle. Tomlinson, a 2015 first-round pick, has really disappointed in the run game. Take a first-down run from last week's game. It was a run to the left with , but Tomlinson couldn't handle in the hole, and forced Riddick to bounce. That led to a hold on left tackle . The Lions are 22nd in rushing yards. The power of the middle just hasn't worked out, with Swanson being the best of the three so far.Chicago at Indianapolis While the are having major linebacker i sues, former Colts linebacker , who will face his old team this week, is having a nice season for the Bears. Freeman, who was signed as a free agent by Chicago, leads the Bears in tackles with four tackles for lo s. He looks fast JT Riddle Jersey in their defense and showed up on tape against the Lions in a good way last week. On one run wide to Theo Riddick, he was able to jump underneath the block of the tight end and hold the gain to 2 yards. Later, on a draw to , he fought off the block of to make the tackle. You know he will be amped this week against his former team. Colts The Colts releasing starting corner and starting linebacker should be a signal that nobody is safe in this 1-3 start. Cromartie, quite frankly, was washed up. He was terrible last week against the , and was benched. Moore had major problems in coverage, which seemed to show up on a weekly basis. is expected back from a hamstring injury this week against the Bears, and I would expect that rookie will get more work at linebacker. He got his biggest workload last week, and while he did mi s a few tackles and run fits, he will be an upgrade over Moore when he takes over. is also in that mix. Tenne see at Miami A lot of people are asking what's wrong with . So I went back and watched his last two games. Here's what's Corey Dickerson Jersey wrong: The system. It is predicated on the run, and that limits what he can do. When he's played faster, he's been better. Here's a vintage series from last week: Down 20-17, he hit a bullet to for 20 yards and a first-and-goal at the 10. So what do the Titans do? Run twice for gains of 1 yard each into 9- and 10-man boxes. On third down, Mariota threw incomplete on a fade. Why not continue to play wide open after the big pa s to Johnson? Take the lead. Mariota did make a horrible throw on a scramble for an interception, but he's pre sing because he's not playing loose. Period. The Dolphins have i sues stopping the run, which could be a problem against the Titans, who love to run it. But don't blame the run problems on . He has been really good inside against the run. But because of his contract, it's never good enough. The linebackers Kyle Barraclough Jersey have been a big problem in the run game. They have to play better in the run game with their fits or this will never get fixed. But don't blame Suh. Washington at BaltimoreRedskins When the season began, the Redskins expected big things in terms of pa s rush from . He had five sacks in his final three games last season, giving him eight on the year as a rookie, but so far this season he doesn't have one. handled him last week against the Browns, but Thomas has handled a lot of guys. Smith did make a nice play in the run game on a reverse to tackle Terrell Pryor for a lo s. Smith has been solid in the run game, but he needs to pick up his pa s-rushing game. Ravens inside linebacker has received a lot of praise this season for his play -- deservedly so -- but don't sleep on , the other linebacker. He was impre sive the past two weeks. He had a late interception against Jacksonville, and then followed it up with a nice performance against the last week. The third-year player does a nice job in the run game and in coverage. Houston at MinnesotaWhen you play the , your offensive line has to be up for a big challenge. The Minnesota front gets after it, and the Houston offensive line has been unsettled this season. That could change some since veteran left tackle looks like a po sibility to play his first game of the season after tearing a quadriceps tendon last season. Brown has been good in pa s protection in his career, which is key against Minnesota. Just ask , who was dumped eight times Nick Wittgren Jersey two weeks ago. The Vikings are second in the league with 15 sacks. Vikings Vikings corner got a lot of credit and hype for his play against Odell Beckham Jr. last Monday night -- deservedly so. But veteran corner is also playing some really good football for the Vikings. The 38-year-old Newman, who has played for coach Mike Zimmer also in Dallas and Cincinnati, is defying his age. He's one of those players coaches can always rely on, especially mentally, which you know Zimmer loves. New York at PittsburghJets A player who has to pick it up for the Jets is safety , especially against the . This was his season to take a big step forward, and so far it hasn't happened. He
