Coach Talk

MoFoS
A big key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to a solid display by Aaron Rodgers, we quadrupled B E A S T at the quarterback position this past week (22 points to 5.25). Rodgers went 24-for-34 for 202 yards and three TDs in a 24-22 victory over the Browns.
B E A S T
Our quarterback threw one interception and no touchdowns? We might need to go back and review the game tape: Was Cam Newton really that off-rhythm with his receivers, or were the Buccaneers just that strong against the pass?
