2016 NFL Week 4 Hot Takes: Halting the Jeff Fisher Hate
By Erik Lambert
Dak Prescott keeps stealing credit from Scott Linehan
The hype train is officially out of control. After another game without an interception, everybody is now convinced Dak Prescott is the steal of the century at quarterback. Granted, the rookie 4th round pick has played well. Still much of that success must be attributed to the masterful way offensive coordinator Scot Linehan has called plays. His ability to keep things simple and help Prescott avoid dangerous situations is as big or a bigger reason why the rookie thrives. If he doesn’t win Assistant Coach of the Year, it will be a crime.
Le’Veon Bell really is the catalyst for unleashing Ben Roethlisberger
Ben Roethlisberger was already a really good quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers before the arrival of running back Le’Veon Bell. It wasn’t until that pick was made that he became a great quarterback. For weeks Roethlisberger played decent football, aside from his ugly night in Philly. Then the moment Bell returns in week 4 against Kansas City, the veteran quarterback transforms into the mad bomber. He hung five touchdown passes in less than three quarters of action. Against a Chiefs secondary that had six interceptions the week before. Unreal.
