Coach Talk

PIERMONSTERS
Identifying mismatches is a big key to success in football. Our squad found one this past week and literally tripled HTTR! at the quarterback position (56.95 points to 18.65).
HTTR!
Here's a list of sports scenarios where it's somewhat excusable to go 0-for-2: A hitter's line in baseball, a pair of Shaquille O'Neal free throws, and a double-fault in tennis. That's just about it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Sounds like Austin Seibert may have just toe-bashed himself to the waiver wire after this performance.
