Coach Talk

My New Cheesecloth
You know, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to a stellar outing by Aaron Rodgers, we doubled up My Broken Johnson at the quarterback position this past week (36.68 points to 18.34). Rodgers went 32-for-52 for 442 yards and three TDs (plus no INTs) in a 31-23 loss to the Lions.
My Broken Johnson
Your starting QB tossed two interceptions and just one touchdown? We may should have a little debate here. Did Jared Goff seem rattled back there in the pocket, or were the Lions just that great defending the pass? This judgment is yours to make, My Broken Johnson, as you set your lineup in Week 6 and beyond!
