Coach Talk

Censored Clowns
Spotting mismatches is a big key to success in football. Thanks to stellar performances by Ezekiel Elliott and Mark Ingram, our team definitely took that to heart this past week. We thoroughly outscored Lord of the Rings at the running back position (57.4 points to 12.1). Elliott had 187 total yards and two TDs, while Ingram logged 162 yards.
Lord of the Rings
Our quarterback threw two interceptions and just a single touchdown? It might be good to go back and review the game tape. Was Nick Mullens really that out-of-sync with the receiving crew, or was the Giants secondary just that stout defending the pass? What do you think, Lord of the Rings, do we continue to start him with confidence?
