Coach Talk

adoboblackdogs
Creating mismatches is a big key to success in football. Thanks to a sound outing from Matt Ryan, we almost tripled DuckGang at the quarterback position this past week (41.04 points to 14.62). Ryan went 22-for-36 for 231 yards and two TDs in a 40-14 win over the Cardinals.
DuckGang
A single missed field goal isn't typically cause for concern, but talk about impeccable timing: Ryan Succop went 1-for-2 on FGs instead of 2-for-2, and DuckGang lost the matchup by 1.88 points. We'll let you do the math on that one.
