Coach Talk

Yellow Snow
Creating mismatches is a big key to success in football. Thanks to a thrilling outing from Deshaun Watson, we thoroughly outplayed Donkey Punch at the quarterback position this past week (26.36 points to 4.74). Watson went 22-for-28 for 294 yards, two TDs, and no INTs in a 29-22 triumph over the Jets.
Donkey Punch
Don't get too discouraged, Donkey Punch! You can take solace in the fact that your kindness this week didn't go unnoticed. It takes real generosity to help someone like Yellow Snow succeed... and maybe one day, they'll return the favor by choosing a couple of defenses early in the 2019 draft (...something like that).
