Coach Talk

YAC Boyz
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? Fueled by stellar performances by CeeDee Lamb and Tim Patrick, our squad really took that to heart this past week. We doubled up Tua the Rescue at wide receiver (43.3 points to 19.2). Lamb had 149 receiving yards and two TDs while Patrick logged 42 yards.
Tua the Rescue
With three receptions on only four targets this past week, the starting running backs for Tua the Rescue should smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to dump it down more often.
