Coach Talk

Brewmasters
Hey, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to a solid performance from Kyler Murray, we quadrupled Cocks at the quarterback position this past week (43.1 points to 9.85). Murray went 29-for-36 for 400 yards, three TDs, and two INTs in a 34-33 triumph over the Vikings.
Cocks
Wait, our starting QB threw an interception and literally no touchdowns? Maybe we should go back and review the game tape. Were the Chargers actually that great defending the pass, or did Dak Prescott appear rattled back there in the pocket? What do you think? Do we keep rolling with him as the starting QB of Cocks?
