Are there any teams that could use Bryce Young or is he just done? Thanks for listening and be sure to subscribe and review!

This week on Ten Minute Tuesday we thought it would be a good idea to break down a few different scenarios and what decoy setups we would use in those situations. Of course, this isn’t a perfect science but it might give you an idea of our thought process. You can always mix and match decoys and you don’t need brand new top of the line decoys to be successful in the field. Let us know what you want to hear another TMT about!

Gavin and Carter practically compare Bo Nix to the best quarterback that ever lived, bringing into question their sanity (which was already in question). We also talk about Caleb Williams’ rough start and we talk about the current NFL standings. Also, are the Vikings the best team in football right now? Nobody expected this from Sam Darnold.

From new spreads and hides to out of the box ideas, it’s time to shake things up. Thanks for listening and be sure to...
