Here's a look at a film nugget for each team playing this weekend that
Dallas Keuchel Jersey should impact the action on the field (all times ET):Washington vs. Cincinnati (London), 9:30 a.m. (FOX) Outside rusher has six sacks, three in the past two games, and is playing at a high level in the run game. Kerrigan had 13.5 sacks two years ago, but is playing at a level that could surpa s that total. On his sack last week, Kerrigan bull-rushed , showing his power, knocking Reiff down and running through him to dump Matt Stafford. He will line up a lot on second-year right tackle this week, which will make that a battle to watch in this early game.BengalsOne reason the Bengals have had trouble running the ball much of this season has been the poor run blocking of center , right guard -- a bit of a surprise -- and first-time starting tackle Cedric Ogbuehi. But those three were much better in the run game last week vs. the , and Cincinnati ran for 271 yards. On a 40-yard run by in the first quarter, Bodine got a nice cutoff block on the defensive tackle, Zeitler got a great block on a hard-crashing end and Ogbuehi got to the second level to block linebacker to create a giant hole for Hill. They then caved in the right side on the next play, a 5-yard TD run by . On Hill's 74-yard TD, the right side was again caved in with good blocks by all three and that allowed the left side to pull around and create a huge cavity. This is something the Bengals have been waiting for all season, and is something we expected to see. Kansas City at Indianapolis, 1 p.m. (CBS) Chiefs safety is the latest to be used as a buck linebacker in nickel situations -- and excel. The safety from BYU had two big plays last week against the . His first big play came in the first quarter when he picked off and returned it 48 yards for a touchdown. On the play, Sorensen was lined up as the buck linebacker and appeared to be looking around and unsure of his a signment before the snap. But
Preston Tucker Jersey at the snap he dropped into zone coverage, and when made a play on the ball intended for , Sorensen plucked it out of the air and scored. On the next series, he sacked Brees when he came on a delayed blitz and was untouched. He also made a nice play in the run game in the first quarter where he kept to a 2-yard gain to the outside. Sorensen doesn't actually line up at safety, but is used almost entirely in the box as an extra linebacker. At 6-foot-2, 210 pounds, he isn't big but is tough enough to hold up in the run game when it's coing at him. He's a nice pawn on that defense. Colts cornerback had mi sed three games, but was back in the lineup last week and did a nice job in coverage vs. the . He had an interception in zone coverage, jumping the route, though it was called back by a penalty. He also did a nice job in man coverage. The Colts have had major coverage i sues, but with , Robinson and all back in the lineup, the coverage was much better. Robinson played a lot of slot corner when he was with the , but now he's starting and playing on the outside on the left. If he can continue to play as he did last week, the Colts will have a nice mix of corners, something they've lacked because of injury. at Carolina, 1 p.m. (FOX) One of the reasons Arizona traded for pa s rusher was because tore up the Cards in the NFC Championship Game last January. He had way too much time. Jones has made the
Evan Gattis Jersey deal with New England look good. He has five sacks and got one last week vs. Seattle when he used his hands and then had a nice bend to blow by and hit , knocking the ball loose. Jones plays with his hand on the ground and standing up in the Cardinals' scheme, and looks comfortable either way. He's also been good against the run, but his pa s rush has been outstanding. Guys like Wilson and Newton are the reason the dealt for Jones. Panthers There's been a lot made of the lack of pa s-rush production from the edge rushers. As a result, the secondary has had major problems. This is a defense that has to win with the front four. But it's not only the ends. The inside players, and , are also not playing up to their 2015 standards, when the Panthers reached the . Short was one of the best inside players in the league, but is in a long line of Panthers who seem to be caught in a Super Bowl hangover. He hasn't been bad, but hasn't been what they expected.Oakland at Tampa Bay, 1 p.m. (CBS) Oakland's offensive line is playing well, and had an impre sive game last week at Jacksonville. Left tackle really impre sed, particularly in pa s protection, and faces his former team this week. He put on a clinic in one-on-one blocking vs. the ' edge rushers. He also did a nice job in the run game. On 's 2-yard TD run, he started on a double and then moved to the next level to get a piece of to get Murray into the end zone. Penn was a free agent in March, and could have signed elsewhere but ended up on a two-year deal in Oakland for $14 million. At 33, he's playing good football. Two rookies -- CB and DE -- are coming off good games last week vs. San Francisco that should give them
Brian McCann Jersey confidence. Hargreaves who has started all season, showed off his coverage skills but also threw his body around in the run game, impre sive for a corner who is 5-11, 195 pounds. Spence played his most snaps, 41, this season and flashed some pa s-rush against , a good veteran tackle. He got his second sack of the season on the final play, jumping inside of Staley with a quick move. He also batted down a pa s. Seattle at New Orleans, 1 p.m. (CBS) The offensive line, as a unit, was terrible last week at Arizona, though it was the tackle play that was most repulsive. Right tackle Gary Gilliam had his i sues in pa s protection, and was nabbed for a holding penalty in the first half and one in
Roy Oswalt Jersey the second. Left tackle Bradley Sowell, who left in the fourth quarter because of an injury, also had a rough go. Chandler Jones went by him for a sack/fumble play in the fourth quarter before he got hurt. He also had a holding penalty. When replaced Sowell, he got a holding penalty for grabbing Jones. All night long, it looked like quarterback Ru sell Wilson had a fast clock in his head, and rightfully so. This O-line must play better, or defensive efforts like the Seahawks put forth vs. the Cards, will go to waste. Wilson is clearly dinged with the knee, and doesn't move as well, so that magnifies i sues. It got so bad that he looked to want to leave pockets almost immediately after the snap -- even if when it wasn't called for.Saints It looks like the Saints have decided to stick with rather than veteran at middle linebacker. Robertson brings a little more thump and speed, and made a few nice plays in the run game last week vs. the Chiefs. Laurinaitis was starting until he suffered a quad injury two weeks ago. He didn't get a sn
