Coach Talk

Lambeau Leapers
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. Fueled by a stellar showing from Russell Wilson, we doubled up Swany's Sackers at the quarterback position this past week (54.5 points to 26.7). Wilson went 32-for-50 for 406 yards, two TDs, and no INTs in a 33-27 loss to the Saints.
Swany's Sackers
Normally, a single missed field goal isn't any reason to worry, but talk about impeccable timing: Greg Zuerlein went 2-for-3 on FGs instead of 3-for-3, and Swany's Sackers dropped the matchup by 4.3 points. We'll let you do the math on that one.
