Coach Talk

Sloppy Steaks
Creating mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Fueled by an awesome showing by Joe Burrow, we thoroughly outplayed Black Ice at the quarterback position this past week (26.5 points to 5.5). Burrow went 40-for-52 for 375 yards, three TDs, and two INTs in a 22-18 win over the Patriots.
Black Ice
Posting a pair of catches on just three measly targets this past week, it appears that the starting running backs for Black Ice clearly need to smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to start checking down more frequently.
