Coach Talk

Underground Kings
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. Thanks to a solid display from Deshaun Watson, we tripled Silver & Black at the quarterback position this past week (49 points to 15.75). Watson orchestrated a big win over the Falcons, going 28-of-33 for 426 yards and five passing TDs.
Silver & Black
Talk about under-utilized. As a group, the starting RBs for Silver & Black collectively registered only one measly target this past week. Get those offensive coordinators to set up a couple of screen plays in Week 6!
