Coach Talk

GREEN LEGION
This sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. Not only did we double up KayCee Chiefs at QB (222.79 points to 108.2), we also quadrupled them at WR (158.93 to 35.6).
KayCee Chiefs
Zero touchdowns and an interception for Dak Prescott against the Buccaneers this week. Zero wins and one loss for KayCee Chiefs on the 2022 season. Normally I'm pretty old-school when it comes to all these fancy numbers and stuff... but our analytics folks keep bugging me, saying that this is the kind of coincidence we should try to be avoiding.
