Coach Talk

JoeyH's First-Rate Team
Hey, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to a stellar outing by Justin Herbert, we doubled up Honkey Pete Jr. at the quarterback position this past week (23.26 points to 10.96). Herbert went 26-for-34 for 279 yards and three TDs (plus no INTs) in a five-point victory over the Raiders.
Honkey Pete Jr.
Zero touchdowns and an interception for Trey Lance against the Bears this week. Zero wins and one loss for Honkey Pete Jr. on the 2022 season. Normally I'm pretty old-fashioned when it comes to all these fancy numbers and stuff... but our analytics folks keep hitting me up, saying that this is the sort of coincidence we'd like to avoid.
