And routinely watching Mims’ speed as a returner, he thought the second-year wide receiver could be used similarly.That idea was put on display in Week 10’s loss to Kansas City. In a small sample size, Mims was effective, totaling three carries for 17 yards while averaging 5.7 yards per attempt. It opened up a new wrinkle in Payton’s offense that opposing defensive coordinators will now have to…

It seems like these words pop up in every conversation, and I can’t help but feel like I’m missing out on an inside joke.I want to be the cool parent (or at least not the completely clueless one), so I’d love your insight into what these terms mean and how they’re used.
