Is the defensive of the Broncos the biggest challenge for Justin Herbert in the 1st. Half of the season?
That the defensive of the Denver Broncos has not even disturbed Daniel Jones In week 2 it is something to worry or give even more confidence at the quartback of Los Angeles Chargers.
The wounded pride for allowing Jones to handle efficiently to the attack of the Indianapolis Colts and the possibility of lowering the chargers from his cloud, especially a herbert who has been lethal and daring with his passes, can and should motivate the defensive of the Broncos to have a better performance, but if the pressure from the rival quartback fails again, the problem in Denver could begin to have an unfavorable tendency.
Whether the defensive of the Broncos, with duels on the horizon before teams such as the Philadelphia Eagles, whose defensive has not looked dominant, or as the Cincinnati Bengals, New York Jets or New York Giants, whose defense groups are mediocre First half of the regular calendar and one that seems to be surpassed. – Ivis aburto
Can Rams overcome Eagles without a productive land attack?
Impossible and I stay short. Last week, the Kansas City Chiefs, who do not have a solid terrestrial attack, were not successful in their attempt to take a small rematch of their defeat in the Super Bowl against the Eagles, to a large extent, because they do not have a terrestrial attack capable of disturbing their rivals.
The big difference, and for which Kansas City was competitive, is Patrick Mahomeswho was able to move the ball with his legs, something he will hardly achieve Matthew Stafford.
It is true that the weak point-if so they want to call him-of the Eagles is his secondary defensive and surely Stafford seeks to harm his receptors Puka Nacua y Davante Adamsbut, even with those weapons at your disposal, at some point they will need to win difficult yards by land with an offensive that is not characterized by running the ball strongly.
If the Rams become one -dimensional, it will be easier to stop them for the defensive of the Eagles.
And we do not even consider the fact that the competition faced by the Rams so far in the season is far from what they will find in Philadelphia.
In week 1, the cowboys gave a sample that the Eagles are not invincible, but, to defeat them, a formula is needed that very few NFL teams can replicate at this time and in that group the RAMS are not included. – Érick Cervantes Roon
What should expect from Jake Browning at the head of the offensive of the Bengals?
Honestly, I consider a Jake Browning One of the best nfl reservation marshal. The Bengals record without Joe Burrow It is not as bad as one would think (6-8).
Of course there is a difference between covering a hole for games and taking care of the team for the rest of the season. We know that Burrow will be out of three months, but the reality is that there are great possibilities for the rest of the campaign to be lost.
Interestingly, the Bengals have started 2-0 for the first time in the Burrow era.
Browning will do a correct job, although you must clean the mistakes a bit. The Bengals have one of the best receptor duos in the NFL in Ja'mar Chase and Tee Higginsalthough I imagine more prominence of Chase Brown by land here more.
The reality is that I do not even rule out that Cincinnati ends up sneaking into playoffs, but, if Burrow does not return, the days when we considered the Bengals a candidate for Super Bowl were in the past. – Sebastián M. Christensen
Week 1 or week 2, what version are the Dallas Cowboys closer?
The cowboys are closer to what they showed in week 2 against the New York Giants, although there was no big difference between their first two games.
Dallas's defensive has many problems, even from the previous seasons, when Micah Parsons It was consolidated as one of the best in the NFL to press Quarterbacks, it is slow and soft.
Instead, the offensive is able to move the ball and score how it has happened when Dak Prescott He is healthy and has talent around him. This attack reinforced its air and land game, something that was evident in the first two games. – Carlos Nava
Lions or Ravens, who has the most powerful offensive?
Although both are very entertaining, they do not have the same seal.
On the one hand, the offensive of the Baltimore Ravens is powerful and balanced, led by a quarterback as Lamar Jacksonwho is a good pin and elusive and is supported by a solid land game headed by Derrick Henry and talented receptors such as Zay Flowers y DeAndre Hopkins.
In contrast, the offensive of the Detroit Lions is versatile and explosive with a dynamic air game headed by Jared Goff and amon-ra St. Brown, complemented by powerful options for land game as Jahmyr Gibbs.
Thus, while the Ravens offensive is more consolidated and efficient, that of the Lions is recognized for its ability to write down quickly and has demonstrated an explosive potential, as seen in its dominant performance in week 2.
If I had to decide for some, I would take that of the Ravens, because its offensive line is slightly better than that of the Lions. – Alfonso Mancilla
How seriously you should take the start of the colts season?
You have to take it with reservation.
It is always good to start with two victories; The second was given to a punishment of the Broncos in the attempted Gol de Campo that, in fact, the kicker Spencer Shrader He failed, but we must recognize that the Indianapolis Colts were placed in a position to win the game and in the end, they did.
The colts have the two elements that did not go out of style and that help any quarterback: land and defensive games. Daniel Jones It is a quarterback that, we already saw, with these two elements can have acceptable performance, because with the New York Giants, when Saquon Barkley He was healthy, they had their best season.
The colts calendar is accessible to fight for the title of a South AFC that has no powers and that gives them the possibility of thinking about the playoffs, but they will have to win those duels within the division against the Houston Texans and take care of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
What can be stated for now is that Indianapolis is not in conversation as a contender in the AFC .– Pablo Viruega
