Coach Talk

Genital Thunderstorm
Hey, this sport is all about taking advantage of the mismatches. Thanks to a sound outing from Joe Burrow, we nearly tripled Vinegar Strokes at the quarterback position this past week (32.27 points to 10.83). Burrow went 27-for-39 for 200 yards, four TDs, and an INT in a 34-23 win over the Buccaneers.
Vinegar Strokes
Unless Vinegar Strokes wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough chances" can't be a valid excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 18 times in Week 15. With only 10 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
