Brian Hoyer has
signed with Indianapolis

with multiple reports calling it a three-year, $12 million deal with $9 million
guaranteed. The three-year term of the contract is somewhat surprising, and it
is of course quite possible that Hoyer, who turns 34 next month, won’t actually
spend three years with the Colts.But Hoyer is there for this year, where he’ll
open the season as Jacoby Brissett‘s backup. Brissett is heading into the final
year of his rookie contract, so the Colts aren’t invested in him long-term. If
Brissett struggles this year, the Colts may be looking to draft a quarterback

backup they’d want behind a young quarterback next year.Andrew Luck‘s surprise
retirement sent the Colts scrambling for someone to back up Brissett, and after
the Patriots cut Hoyer, he immediately became their first choice.The Colts are
Hoyer’s eighth NFL team; he has previously played for the Patriots, Steelers,
Cardinals, Browns, Texans, Bears and 49ers. Although the Patriots are off to a
fantastic start

criticism: Sony Michel, the starting running back, who is averaging just 2.4
yards per carry.Patriots coach Bill Belichick, however, says Michel doesn’t
deserve that criticism. Belichick put it on the offensive line and the coaching
staff to put Michel in better positions to produce.“I think he’s had
opportunities and he’s done pretty well with those,” Belichick said. “There’s
been times where he hasn’t been able to get started and that’s always a problem
with the running game. If you can’t get them through the line of scrimmage, you
can gain some yards, but it’s hard. There are things he can do better. Certainly
we can block better and coach better so we’ll try to do those and improve in
every part of our offense

not just the running game but play-actions and passing game and everything
else.”There’s surely some truth in what Belichick is saying, but No. 2 running
back Rex Burkhead is playing in the same offensive system, behind the same
offensive line, and is averaging 4.7 yards per carry — almost twice Michel’s
average. If the blocking and the scheme are good enough for Burkhead to find
holes, Michel needs to find those holes, too.
