Coach Talk

H-Town Finest
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. Thanks to a solid showing from Matt Ryan, we doubled up Willie's Team at the quarterback position this past week (34.3 points to 15.85). Ryan went 27-for-43 for 320 yards, three TDs, and three INTs in a 24-20 win over the Eagles.
Willie's Team
Listen, Willie's Team, we've been in this industry long enough to know that sometimes points just seem to magically appear out of the blue. Then sometimes, like in your case this week, they don't! Okay, okay... perhaps asking for an additional 17 points is a little excessive.
