Coach Talk

Blue Crabs
Identifying mismatches is a big key to success in football. Thanks to solid performances by Todd Gurley II and Tevin Coleman, our team certainly made that a point of emphasis this past week. We thoroughly outplayed Project Mayhem at running back (47.9 points to 6.3). Gurley II had 124 total yards and two TDs, while Coleman logged 145 yards.
Project Mayhem
Wait, our quarterback threw one interception and no touchdowns? Maybe we should go back and review the game tape: Was Drew Brees actually that off-rhythm with his receiving crew, or were the Panthers just that stout against the pass? What do you think, Project Mayhem, do we continue to start him with confidence?
