Coach Talk

Cocks
Spotting mismatches is a big component to winning in football. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Big Balls at the wide receiver position (53.1 points to 23.9).
Big Balls
Your quarterback threw an interception and no touchdowns? We may should have a little debate here: Were the Saints truly that strong defending the pass, or was Deshaun Watson just that inaccurate from the pocket?
