Coach Talk

Better than Kalab
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. Our team found one this past week and literally tripled Rubber Ducky at the quarterback position (49.2 points to 14.75).
Rubber Ducky
Well, this week's problem was pretty easy to diagnose, Rubber Ducky. Choosing to start Greg Olsen in a tough fantasy matchup... we'll use this as an opportunity to get better and agree that it won't happen again.
