Coach Talk

Raising Cardinals
Deploying a lineup that won by over 25 points this past week... we consider that to be a job done right. Let's maintain this momentum as we step into our Week 10 matchup.
MILLER'S KILLERS
Wait, our starting QB threw two interceptions and just one touchdown? We might need to go back and review the game tape: Did Derek Carr seem rattled back there in the pocket, or was the Giants secondary just that great defending the pass? What do you think? Do we keep rolling with him as the starting QB of MILLER'S KILLERS?
