Coach Talk

The Mid Rounders
You know what, The Mid Rounders, we do respect the confidence. Deploying a player with zero points (Tee Higgins), while still earning a W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Try it when the postseason rolls around, and we're toast.
AndrewTate$$
A ton of activity between the 20's: The six offensive skill starters (three WRs, two RBs, one TE) on AndrewTate$$ collectively gained a healthy 426 total yards. Unfortunately, no one from that group could find his way to the end zone in Week 5.
