Coach Talk

Desert Eagles
A big key to success in football is spotting (and exploiting) the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Shalabajzeri at the wide receiver position (36 points to 17).
Shalabajzeri
Our starting QB threw an interception and literally zero touchdowns? We might need to play Monday-morning quarterback here. Was Nick Foles actually that sloppy from the pocket, or were the Buccaneers just that stout against the pass? What do you think, Shalabajzeri, do we continue to start him with confidence?
