Coach Talk

Cowboy Chip
The key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to a stellar display by Russell Wilson, we doubled up Sledgehammers at the quarterback position this past week (66 points to 30). Wilson orchestrated a big victory over the Falcons, going 31-of-35 for 322 yards and four passing TDs.
Sledgehammers
The problem in Week 1 is pretty easy to diagnose, Sledgehammers. Going with Kenny Golladay in a tough fantasy matchup... let's consider this to be a learning experience and all agree that it's not going to happen again?
