Coach Talk

Rebel Alliance
Nice work deploying a starting crew that won by 10.7 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done. Let's keep this momentum as we step into a tricky challenge in Week 3.
War Pony
Our starting QB threw two interceptions and just one touchdown? I guess we're presented with a fork in the road here. Did Justin Herbert seem rattled back there in the pocket, or were the Cowboys just that stout against the pass? This judgment is yours to make, War Pony, as you set your lineup for Week 3 and beyond!
