Coach Talk

Sayers Monsters
You know, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. Fueled by stout performances by Alvin Kamara and Malcolm Brown, our team definitely took that to heart this past week. We nearly tripled Old Leather Balls at the running back spot (44.9 points to 16.2). Kamara had 98 total yards and three TDs, while Brown logged 51 yards and two scores.
Old Leather Balls
Well, Old Leather Balls, this week's problem isn't exactly rocket science. Choosing to start Jalen Hurts in a tough fantasy matchup... we'll use this as an opportunity to get better and agree that it won't happen again.
