Coach Talk

Desert Eagles
A big key to success in football is spotting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up spopov_k_2021 at the wide receiver position (47 points to 23).
spopov_k_2021
Look, spopov_k_2021, we've been in this industry long enough to realize that sometimes points just seem to miraculously appear out of the blue. Then in some cases (like this week) they don't! Hmmm, okay... asking for an extra 26 points may be a bit overzealous.
