Coach Talk

Last Action Herbert
Identifying mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. Fueled by an awesome performance from Justin Herbert, we tripled I'll be back at the quarterback position this past week (35.64 points to 11.34). Herbert went 32-for-38 for 356 yards and two TDs in a 27-24 triumph over the Eagles.
I'll be back
One touchdown and two interceptions for Derek Carr against the Giants this week. Three wins and six losses for I'll be back on the 2021 season. I'm usually pretty old-school when it comes to these fancy numbers... but my analytics folks are telling me they're not thrilled about this matching 2-to-1 INT-to-TD, Loss-to-Win ratio!
