Coach Talk

TC's Goon Squad
The key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. Fueled by a stellar display from Joe Burrow, we doubled up RJ Machismo at the quarterback position this past week (42 points to 19). Burrow orchestrated a big win over the Ravens, going 37-of-46 for 525 yards and four passing TDs.
RJ Machismo
Whoa now, talk about under-utilized. As a group, the starting backfield for RJ Machismo collectively registered just two receptions on four measly targets this past week.
