“You think you know everything, so you should know he’s not Colton’s guy…” Feliciano posted.
“So whose guy was it?” another user replied. “It’s not his guy, but if he had quick chops to disrupt pass rush routes, it could have given Purdy enough time to get the pass out.”

“If the guy who was supposed to block him blocks him, you don’t need a quick chop,” he wrote.
