Coach Talk

B E A S T
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to stout performances by Chris Carson and Todd Gurley II, our team certainly took that to heart this past week. We doubled MoFoS up at the running back spot (41.4 points to 16.6). Carson had 109 total yards and a TD, while Gurley II logged 115 yards.
MoFoS
Wait, our starting QB threw one interception and literally zero touchdowns? Maybe we need to go back and review the game tape. Was Nick Foles really that out-of-sync with the receiving crew, or were the Buccaneers just that stout defending the pass? What do you think, MoFoS, do we continue to start him with confidence?
