Stroud is good, really good. Gus is bad, like atrocious.
Gus tells his guys in pre-kick off defensive huddle:
"Hey guys, I just want to let you know I am really proud of all of you for showing up today. Knowing you are going to see a QB complete over 80% of his passes and 4 TD's with no INT's, knowing that prior to a game, that's not easy for a defensive unit to just be fine with- but you guys are just built different. On some other teams knowing you are going to play prevent defense on every snap, well that might have a few guys come down with the flu during the week if you know what I mean. But not this group, all of you showed up to take your ass beating, your willingness to spend a lot of time in a 4 man front, and then when we are really nervous to drop to a 3 man, and allow this GREAT QB to just sit there in the pocket for 8-10 seconds, gentlemen I applaud your dedication. Look me in the eyes guys, look in these eyes, I, just like you, am absolutely terrified of CJ Stroud, and just like each and every one of you, I know we cannot even come close to stopping him, but this is what we came here for today, to show up and collect a check for just being present. Gentlemen, we all get paid a ton of money, and think about it, we don't even have to really try when we know we are going to get killed by a HOF QB and a phenomenal coach, congrats to us all for reaching this level of suck. So go out there, be really timid, and know after every completion for a first down, just know I am proud of you for not caring. After every 45 yards plus TD today, just look ever at the sideline and see me standing there, not even caring, and know you too are free to not give a fuck either".
