Coach Talk

The Khalianos
You know, football is all about spotting the mismatches. With great performances by Miles Sanders and Myles Gaskin, our squad definitely made that a point of emphasis this past week. We doubled Mad 'E' up at running back (29.9 points to 13.9). Sanders had 113 total yards while Gaskin chipped in with 76 yards.
Mad 'E'
Our quarterback threw two interceptions and no touchdowns? We may need to play Monday-morning quarterback here: Were the Saints truly that strong defending the pass, or was Aaron Rodgers just that out-of-tune with the receiving crew? What do you think? Do we keep rolling with him as the starting QB of Mad 'E'?
