Coach Talk

Derek's Definitive Team
Earning the win is most important, Derek's Definitive Team, but we do know of one spot where we can improve as a team; our quarterback was clearly overmatched this past week. Lamar Jackson went 19-of-30 for 235 yards and one touchdowns for Kevin's Reasonable Team, and all Aaron Rodgers could manage through the air was 133 passing yards and two ugly interceptions. We need to put some more effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!
Kevin's Reasonable Team
With only one reception on three measly targets this past week, the starting RBs for Kevin's Reasonable Team should investigate why their QBs are giving them the silent treatment.
