Coach Talk

Springfield Atoms
Identifying mismatches is a big key to success in football. Thanks to an awesome outing by Jalen Hurts, we tripled The Cardiac Comeback at the quarterback position this past week (46 points to 15). Hurts went 24-for-44 for 338 yards and three TDs in a 33-26 loss to the Cardinals.
The Cardiac Comeback
With three receptions on just four targets this past week, the starting RBs for The Cardiac Comeback should investigate why their QBs are giving them the silent treatment.
