Coach Talk

Mad Dogs
This sport is all about creating mismatches. Thanks to an awesome showing by Kirk Cousins, we doubled up Fancy Dancers at the quarterback position this past week (30.58 points to 14.7). Cousins went 23-for-32 for 277 yards, two TDs, and no INTs in a 23-7 win over the Packers.
Fancy Dancers
Zero touchdowns and an interception for Aaron Rodgers against the Vikings this week. Zero wins and one loss for Fancy Dancers on the 2022 season. I'm usually pretty old-fashioned when it comes to all these fancy numbers and stuff... but our analytics folks keep telling me that this is the kind of "correlation" we gotta stay away from.
