Coach Talk

David's Team
Identifying mismatches is a big component to winning in football. We not only doubled up Dr!p at QB (32.36 points to 15.58), we also thoroughly dominated them at WR (57.2 to 22.3).
Dr!p
Just two makes on four field goal attempts? Sounds like Nick Folk might be kicking himself to the waiver wire following this effort.
