Coach Talk

Gibson’s Finest
Creating mismatches is a big key to success in football. With good numbers from the backfield, our team certainly made that a point of emphasis this past week. We thoroughly outplayed C Kupp at running back (41.3 points to 11.4). With 126 total yards and two TDs, Travis Etienne Jr. did most of the damage, while Antonio Gibson chipped in with 47 yards.
C Kupp
Producing just one reception on three targets this past week, it appears that the starting RBs for C Kupp should look into why their quarterbacks are giving them the cold shoulder.
