Coach Talk

Doobrees
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? Fueled by good numbers from our ball-carriers, our squad took that to heart this past week. We doubled Stupid and Delicious up at the running back position (27.65 points to 11.4). Josh Jacobs did most of the heavy lifting (113 total yards and two TDs), while Devonta Freeman chipped in with 31 yards.
Stupid and Delicious
Ugh, talk about under-utilized. The starting backfield for Stupid and Delicious collectively registered three receptions on just four measly targets this past week. Tell those quarterbacks to dump it down a little more often in Week 2!
