Coach Talk

Dad Went For Cigs
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. Fueled by solid performances by Derrick Henry and Dalvin Cook, our crew certainly made that a point of emphasis this past week. We thoroughly outplayed Scott’s Tots at the running back spot (53.3 points to 20.2). Henry had 132 total yards and two TDs, while Cook logged 121 yards and two scores.
Scott’s Tots
Fortunately, Scott’s Tots, this week's problem was pretty easy to diagnose. Starting Tee Higgins in a tough fantasy matchup... we'll consider this to be an opportunity to get better and all agree that it won't happen again.
