Coach Talk

King Cobras
The key to success in football is creating mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by tripling Alvin Instant Kamara at the wide receiver position (76 points to 25).
Alvin Instant Kamara
With three receptions on only four measly targets this past week, the starting running backs for Alvin Instant Kamara should smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to dump it off more often.
