Coach Talk

Marcus's Swell Team
You know, this sport is all about spotting (and then exploiting) the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by almost quadrupling Real McCoys at the wide receiver position (42.3 points to 10.6).
Real McCoys
Listen, Real McCoys, we've been in this business long enough to know that sometimes points can just magically appear out of nowhere. Then sometimes, like in your matchup this week, they don't! You know, now that I think about it... hoping for an extra 35 points may be a little much.
