#280: 2021 Week 4 NFL Preview (with Hal Bent)

Sports Krunch w/DKROM

1. Week 3 Takeaways

-Me: Watching Justin Tucker’s historic 66-yard field goal at the gun reminded me that it’s time for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Board of Selectors to put more specialists in these next several years

-Hal: 2020 Josh Allen is back, Derek Carr continues to dominate, Aaron Rodgers back to normal, surprising upsets, et al

2. Truth or Exaggeration

-Ben Roethlisberger is literally finished and the Steelers should consider benching him if their offense continues to sputter

-Nobody is playing better football than the Los Angeles Rams right now

-If the Chiefs do not beat the Eagles in dominating fashion this week, it will be THE reddest of red flags

-Matt Nagy is the biggest impediment to the development of Justin Fields

-The Buffalo Bills are in prime position to nab the AFC’s #1 playoff seed

-If the Seahawks lose to the 49ers on Sunday, they will NOT make the playoffs

-If it wasn’t for two plays, Kirk Cousins would be squarely in the MVP conversation right now

-The Dallas Cowboys are clear favorites to win the NFC East in 2021

3. This Or That

-What is Micah Parsons best long-term position: Off-ball linebacker or edge pass rusher?

-Which 3-0 team is the more legitimate contender: Panthers or Broncos?

-What has been the bigger disappointment so far this season: The rookie QB’s or the Washington defense?

-Who will make the bigger impact for his new team: Richard Sherman (Bucs) or Josh Gordon (Chiefs)?
