Coach Talk

King Cobras
You know, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. Fueled by stellar production from our receiving corps, our squad really took that to heart this past week. We doubled up Crown My Ass at wide receiver (35 points to 16). Tyreek Hill had 67 receiving yards and two TDs while Courtland Sutton chipped in with 79 yards.
Crown My Ass
Hey, Crown My Ass, what did your wideouts do to irk their quarterbacks this week? Seeing only eight total targets this past week, our two wide receivers clearly got on their respective QBs' bad sides.
