Coach Talk

LavarBall Never Lost
Hey, the key to football is finding and exploiting the mismatches, right? Thanks to a sound outing from Cam Newton, we doubled up Diamond Dallas Page at the quarterback position this past week (22.3 points to 10.52). Newton went 28-for-41 for 300 yards, two TDs, and four INTs in a 24-17 loss to the Buccaneers.
Diamond Dallas Page
Our quarterback tossed one interception and literally no touchdowns? We might need to go back and review the game tape: Were the Jaguars actually that good against the pass, or was Andrew Luck just that shaky in the pocket? What do you think? Do we keep rolling with him as the starting QB of Diamond Dallas Page?
