Coach Talk

Steel Curtain 22
Creating mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Thanks to a solid performance by Russell Wilson, we quadrupled Josh.0 at the quarterback position this past week (30.14 points to 7.26). Wilson went 21-for-27 for 206 yards, four TDs, and an INT in a 40-3 win over the Jets.
Josh.0
Here's a list of sports scenarios where it's excusable to go 0-for-2: A hitter's line in baseball, a pair of Shaquille O'Neal free throws, and a double-fault in tennis. That's just about it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Seems like Wil Lutz may have just toe-bashed himself back into the free agent pool after this performance.
