Coach Talk

Lucky Enuf
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? Fueled by an awesome performance from Justin Herbert, we utterly dominated AMMODOG at the quarterback position this past week (38 points to 15.1). Herbert went 20-for-34 for 264 yards and four TDs in a 30-27 loss to the Saints.
AMMODOG
With a couple of receptions on just three measly targets this past week, the starting running backs for AMMODOG should remind their quarterbacks to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
