Coach Talk

Simmons
You know Simmons, the good news is that we won this matchup by over 23 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through five weeks was 127.12. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Sprint Right Option
Wait, our starting QB threw two interceptions and not a single touchdown? Maybe we need to go back and review the game tape. Was Cam Newton actually that out-of-sync with his receivers, or were the just that stout against the pass? You'll need to decide one way or the other... Sprint Right Option, as you manage your lineup in Week 7 and beyond!
