The Shutdown Corner Week 5 NFL Preview Podcast with Greg Cosell The Sunday games previewed, in order of discussion: Miami Dolphins at Cincinnati Bengals Green Bay Packers at Indianapolis Colts Baltimore Ravens at Kansas City Chiefs Atlanta Falcons at Washington Redskins Cleveland Browns at New York Giants Philadelphia Eagles at Pittsburgh Steelers Seattle Seahawks at Carolina Panthers Chicago Bears at Jacksonville Jaguars Tennessee Titans at Minnesota Vikings Denver Broncos at New England Patriots Buffalo Bills at San Francisco 49ers San Diego Chargers at New Orleans Saints Houston Texans at New York Jets Some words of wisdom from Mr. Cosell: On Cincinnati Bengals receiver Andrew Hawkins: "Well, I was on him last year, and I'm surprised he didn't play more. I remembered him having a very good game around mid-last season against Pittsburgh, and then, you didn't see him a ton. He strikes me as the ideal slot receiver. He's small, but so is Wes Welker. And I think he has great lateral quickness -- he can run all those kinds of option whip routes that slot receivers run. He's got pretty good speed -- he had that 50-yard touchdown up the seam against the Redskins. I got a chance to talk to him at the Super Bowl because I Know his brother, Artrell, very well, and he's a great kid. I think he'll continue to be a factor, because of the A.J. Green factor." On Green Bay's 2012 offense: "When you look at the matchup [against the Colts], they certainly still have weapons, but if we were discussing this game last year at this time, we would say that Green Bay would put 35 points on them, no problem. I'm not sure that's going to happen now. Green Bay's certainly talented enough, and I have great respect for [head coach] Mike McCarthy, who's one of the best. We know what Aaron Rodgers is, ability-wise. They can certainly come out of this anytime. But right now, Green Bay is a team I'm watching very closely on offense, and I'm not seeing the precision I'm used to."
