Coach Talk

TheRapists
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. Fueled by a stellar showing from Jalen Hurts, we doubled up Tom and the Cooper Troopers at the quarterback position this past week (33 points to 15.88). Hurts went 22-for-35 for 340 yards and three TDs in a 24-8 triumph over the Commanders.

You can feel good knowing that your generosity didn't go unnoticed. It takes a real kindred spirit to help someone like TheRapists succeed this week... and when the time comes, perhaps they can return the favor by taking a couple of kickers early in next year's draft (something along those lines). Keep pushing forward, Tom and the Cooper Troopers!
