Coach Talk

Gurley Fries
You know, football is all about finding the mismatches. Thanks to a solid outing by Ben Roethlisberger, we utterly dominated #ESPNleague2019 at the quarterback position this past week (23.66 points to 3.84). Roethlisberger went 27-for-47 for 314 yards, two TDs, and three INTs in a 20-16 win over the Jaguars.
#ESPNleague2019
Carson Wentz tossed three interceptions and literally no touchdowns? It may be that thankful time of year, but we're having a lot of trouble being grateful for that sort of display.
