Coach Talk

Real McCoys
You know, the key to football is spotting the mismatches. With stout performances by Austin Ekeler and Dalvin Cook, our crew definitely took that to heart this past week. We tripled Mumm-Ra up at running back (61.4 points to 17.9). Ekeler had 154 total yards and three TDs, while Cook logged 120 yards and two scores.
Mumm-Ra
Look, I've been in this business long enough to know that sometimes free points just seem to randomly appear out of the blue. Then in some cases, like this week, they don't! Well, okay... asking for an additional 71 points might be a little excessive. Keep your chin up, Mumm-Ra!
