Podcast: Week 8 preview
Last minute decision for Dak Prescott
The calf of Dak Prescott (QB, Cowboys) is ultimately not that well recovered. According to ESPN, the decision on whether to participate in this Sunday’s game against the Vikings will be made at the last moment.
Prescott didn’t take any snaps in training during the week but reportedly did some physical work to ramp up just before leaving for Minneapolis. If he can’t play, Cooper Rush is his understudy.
Bears: Matt Nagy will not be on the bench
Good news for Justin Fields? In any case, Matt Nagy will not be with his team to face the 49ers this Sunday. The coach has tested positive for COVID and has yet to return two negative tests, meaning he must remain in quarantine.
Chris Tabor, the special teams coach, will take Nagy’s place this Sunday.
Davis Mills still holder for the Texans
Davis Mills will start quarterback this Sunday to face the Rams. At a press conference this Friday, David Culley explained that Taylor is not yet physically ready to take the job.
“We find that Tyrod [Taylor] is not yet ready for the moment, ”explains the coach of the Texans. “He’s made a lot of progress, but not to the point of being on the pitch in place of the starter. “
New game as a holder for Davis Mills who has 912 yards, 5 touchdwons and 7 interceptions for 63% of passes completed.
Joe Flacco sees himself as holder
Hardly landed (again) at the Jets, and Joe Flacco already wants to be caliph instead of the caliph. If Mike White will play this Sunday, the MVP of Super Bowl 47, present at a press conference this Friday, believes in his chances.
“You should talk to the coach and the offensive coordinator about their strategy. I speak for myself, but I see myself playing in the next few weeks. But I don’t know what the coaches have in mind. “
On a misunderstanding it can pass, especially when the holder is called Mike White.
