Coach Talk

MOBSQUAD
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to a thrilling showing by Tom Brady, we nearly quadrupled Elijah’s Elite Team at the quarterback position this past week (70.7 points to 18.6). Brady went 28-for-40 for 375 yards, four TDs, and two INTs in a 36-27 loss to the Saints.
Elijah’s Elite Team
We were just taking it easy so our players could dominate in next week, right? The eight offensive position starters (four WRs, three RBs, one TE) on Elijah’s Elite Team collectively put up 501 yards and just four touchdowns in Week 8. Our opponent's skill players made it tough on us by logging 744 yards and seven scores.
