Coach Talk

Rams the Legends
Hey, this sport is all about finding the mismatches, right? Thanks to a solid outing from Aaron Rodgers, we tripled Flash at the quarterback position this past week (30.46 points to 9.31). Rodgers went 21-for-33 for 243 yards and four TDs in a 31-13 win over the Giants.
Flash
Here's a list of scenarios where it's somewhat excusable to go 0-for-2 in sports: A hitter's line in baseball, a pair of DeAndre Jordan free throws, and a double-fault in tennis. That's basically it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Seems like Brett Maher may have just toe-bashed himself back into the free agent pool after that sort of effort.
