No long-winded intro this week. Just keep Damar Hamlin and his family, friends, and all those associated with this young man, in your thoughts and prayers. If you have the means, please donate to his toy drive - The Chasing M's Foundation as a show of support. All of us at the 4for4 Football family are praying for Hamlin's speedy and full recovery.

Linebacker

Jack Gibbens, LB, Tennessee Titans

The week before, it was Monty Rice who was the three-down LB and calling the plays. Things changed in Week 17.

Jack Gibbens ended up wearing the dot as the defensive play-caller against the Cowboys and that trend could continue heading into the big matchup for the AFC South in Week 18. Gibbens ended up appearing in 100% of the snaps.

He took good paths to the ball and seemed to be around the ball carrier. Here’s a tackle on Ezekiel Elliott that limited him to just a few yards:

Gibbens produced a 12.5% tackle rate over his 80 snaps which resulted in 10 tackles. As long as he continues his role as play caller, which is looking likely, Gibbens should have a three-down role in Week 18. He’s on the LB3/4 radar.
