Coach Talk

LarryDavidShrimp
Hey, this sport is all about spotting the mismatches. Fueled by stellar outings by JuJu Smith-Schuster and Julio Jones, our team really took that to heart this past week. We doubled up LaphroaigBenchWarmer at wide receiver (36 points to 17). Smith-Schuster had 189 receiving yards while Jones chipped in with 147 yards.
LaphroaigBenchWarmer
Logging just five targets this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for LaphroaigBenchWarmer should remind their quarterbacks to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
