Coach Talk

Rabid otters II
Creating mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. Fueled by a stellar showing from Patrick Mahomes, we absolutely dominated Football Team at the quarterback position this past week (37.73 points to 14.41). Mahomes went 29-for-43 for 292 yards and four TDs in a one-point win over the Raiders.
Football Team
Posting only a couple of catches on five targets this past week, it appears that the starting running backs for Football Team should remind their quarterbacks to start checking down more frequently (and dial up a screen play or two).
