Coach Talk

Christians Edge
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? We really emphasized that by doubling up Ravishing Rick Rude at running back this past week (26.6 points to 11.1).
Ravishing Rick Rude
There's a real possibility that Ravishing Rick Rude might be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. With only 13 targets combined this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently made the bulk of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
