Coach Talk

Fuller’s Fallies
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to a thrilling showing by Justin Herbert, we thoroughly outscored Taco Corp at the quarterback position this past week (31.64 points to 12.34). Herbert went 32-for-38 for 356 yards and two TDs (plus no INTs) in a three-point win over the Eagles.
Taco Corp
Our starting QB threw two interceptions and just one touchdown? We might need to go back and review the game tape. Were the Giants actually that great defending the pass, or did Derek Carr seem rattled back there in the pocket? What do you think? Do we continue to roll with him as the starting QB of Taco Corp?
