Coach Talk

Schmo & Cows
You know, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. With stout performances by Adrian Peterson and Alvin Kamara, our crew definitely made that a point of emphasis this past week. We quadrupled Pickles at running back (33.4 points to 7.9). Peterson had 57 total yards and two TDs, while Kamara logged 97 yards.
Pickles
Recording just three targets this past week, it seems like the starting running backs for Pickles clearly should look into why their quarterbacks are giving them the silent treatment.
