Coach Talk

Cedric's TPSer's
The key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. Fueled by an awesome showing from Deshaun Watson, we almost quadrupled Sledgehammers at the quarterback position this past week (78 points to 20). Watson had a field day in a big 53-32 win over the Falcons, going 28-of-33 for 426 yards and five passing TDs.
Sledgehammers
Our starting QB threw three interceptions and just a single touchdown? It might be good to go back and review the game tape. Were the Steelers really that great against the pass, or did Lamar Jackson seem flustered back there in the pocket? What do you think? Do we continue to roll with him as the starting QB of Sledgehammers?
