Coach Talk

Red Alice
This sport is all about creating mismatches. Case in point: we really took that to heart by utterly dominating Joe Pendleton at running back this past week (36.8 points to 7.8).
Joe Pendleton
Just one make on three field goal attempts? Sounds like Justin Tucker might be kicking himself to the waiver wire after that sort of performance.
