Coach Talk

No Kuppitulation
The key to success in football is spotting the mismatches. Fueled by a stellar performance by Kirk Cousins, we doubled up TRIPple Threat at the quarterback position this past week (27.16 points to 11.8). Cousins had his way against the Giants defense, going 34-of-48 for 299 yards and three passing TDs.
TRIPple Threat
Our starting QB tossed one interception and no touchdowns? We may have quite a dilemma on our hands here: Was Deshaun Watson really that out-of-tune with his receiving crew, or was the Saints secondary just that stout defending the pass?
