Coach Talk

Hard Targets
Just three makes on five field goal attempts? It's quite possible that Greg Joseph just kicked himself back into the free agent pool after that sort of performance.
Arrogant Americans
A completion percentage of 41 percent for Sam Darnold this past week?! Jeez, there's a realistic chance that Jake Delhomme could jump in the huddle TODAY and do a better job for the Panthers.
