Coach Talk

NC BBQ
This sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. Not only did we double up Protector Of The Realm ☮️ at RB (31.5 points to 12.9), we also tripled them at WR (28.5 to 9.4).
Protector Of The Realm ☮️
Here's a list of sports scenarios where it's somewhat excusable to go 0-for-2: A hitter's line in baseball, a pair of DeAndre Jordan free throws, and a double-fault in tennis. That's basically it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Sounds like Greg Joseph might be kicking himself back into the free agent pool following this performance.
