Coach Talk

THE CIRCLE
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to a solid display from Josh Allen, we thoroughly outscored King Cobras at the quarterback position this past week (51 points to 20). Allen torched the Football Team secondary by logging 358 yards and four passing touchdowns.

Look, we've been in this business long enough to realize that occasionally, free points can just randomly show up out of nowhere. Then in some cases, like this week, they don't! Hmmm, okay... hoping for an additional 60 points might be a bit overzealous. Keep pushing forward, King Cobras!
