Coach Talk

Sprint Right Option
Football is all about creating mismatches. Thanks to stellar showings by Adam Thielen and Chris Godwin, our squad really took that to heart this past week. We utterly dominated YOUalreadyKNOWsuckas at wide receiver (49.5 points to 5.6). Thielen had 130 receiving yards and two TDs while Godwin logged 125 yards and two scores.
YOUalreadyKNOWsuckas
So, YOUalreadyKNOWsuckas, what did your wideouts do to annoy their quarterbacks this week? With only three targets combined in Week 5, our two wide receivers clearly got on their respective QBs' bad sides.
