Coach Talk

The Fishguts
Identifying mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Thanks to a solid display from Jalen Hurts, we thoroughly outscored THE LITTLE GUYS at the quarterback position this past week (30.38 points to 4.58). Hurts went 21-for-31 for 217 yards and two TDs in a 48-22 victory over the Giants.
THE LITTLE GUYS
Don't get too discouraged, THE LITTLE GUYS! Look, we've been at it long enough to realize that every once in a while, an extra point will just instantly appear out of the blue... and then in some cases, like this week, it won't! In the grand scheme of things, the most important thing is that you tried.
