Coach Talk

BoomGoestheDynamite
Spotting mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Thanks to a solid display from Mitchell Trubisky, we thoroughly outscored PICKERS at the quarterback position this past week (39.38 points to 15.48). Trubisky went 19-for-26 for 354 yards and six TDs in a 48-10 win over the Buccaneers.
PICKERS
Ugh, talk about old-school ground n' pound: As a group, the starting RBs for PICKERS did not receive a single target in the passing game this past week. Tell those offensive coordinators to dial up a screen play or two in Week 5!
