Coach Talk

Wentz so Hard
Identifying mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Thanks to a thrilling display from Carson Wentz, we thoroughly outscored Gnarleigh Harleigh at the quarterback position this past week (32.93 points to 6.7). Wentz orchestrated an Eagles win over the Redskins, going 28-of-39 for 313 yards and three passing TDs.
Gnarleigh Harleigh
Zero touchdowns and an interception for Mitchell Trubisky against the Packers this week. Zero wins and one loss for Gnarleigh Harleigh on the 2019 season. I'm usually pretty old-fashioned when it comes to all this fancy "analytics" mumbo-jumbo... but our in-house number gurus keep bugging me, saying that this is the sort of "correlation" we'd like to avoid.
