Coach Talk

Dee's Wonderful Team
This sport is all about creating mismatches. Thanks to an awesome display from Ben Roethlisberger, we doubled up Morningwood at the quarterback position this past week (29.32 points to 14.12). Roethlisberger went 27-for-46 for 333 yards and four TDs (plus no INTs) in a 36-10 victory over the Bengals.
Morningwood
With two receptions on only three measly targets this past week, the starting RBs for Morningwood should remind their quarterbacks to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
