Coach Talk

Pillage & Plunder
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. Fueled by a solid showing by Patrick Mahomes, we doubled up Double Tap Kap at the quarterback position this past week (36 points to 16). Mahomes went 24-for-38 for 314 yards and three TDs in a 38-27 victory over the 49ers.
Double Tap Kap
Listen, we've been at it long enough to realize that occasionally, free points can just randomly appear out of thin air. And then sometimes, like in your matchup this week, they don't! Hmmm, alright; perhaps asking for an additional 36 points is a bit overzealous. Like the NFL's new tackling guidelines, it's important to keep your head up, Double Tap Kap!
