Coach Talk

Wilfork on 1st Date
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches, right? Thanks to a solid outing from Deshaun Watson, we doubled up Team Schendel at the quarterback position this past week (26.43 points to 11.5). Watson went 24-for-40 for 385 yards, two TDs, and an INT in a 27-22 loss to the Giants.
Team Schendel
There's still a ton of football left to be played, Team Schendel! Your next few opponents may glance at your record and foolishly believe they've got an easy matchup. Lull them into a sense of complacency and hit 'em with the strongest possible lineups... they won't see it coming!
