Coach Talk

An Ice Cold Beer
Identifying mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. Thanks to a solid performance by Kyler Murray, we thoroughly outscored Thomas and the Tank at the quarterback position this past week (41.6 points to 6.48). Murray went 29-for-36 for 400 yards, three TDs, and two INTs in a one-point triumph over the Vikings.
Thomas and the Tank
Wait, our quarterback tossed one interception and no touchdowns? I guess we've stumbled upon a fork in the road here. Were the Chargers truly that great against the pass, or did Dak Prescott seem flustered back there in the pocket? What do you think? Do we keep rolling with him as the starting QB of Thomas and the Tank?
