Coach Talk

VJ WHO-DEY!
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? Not only did we double up SKINS #2 at WR (132 points to 64.6), we also thoroughly dominated them at QB (73.07 points to 15.63).
SKINS #2
Our quarterback tossed one interception and no touchdowns? We may have quite a dilemma on our hands here: Was Derek Carr really that inaccurate from the pocket, or were the Saints just that great defending the pass? This judgment is yours to cast... SKINS #2, as you set your lineup for Week 9 and beyond!
