Coach Talk

Rose's Nice Team
Hey, this sport is all about creating mismatches, right? Thanks to a sound showing from Jalen Hurts, we thoroughly outplayed Jules Winnfield at the quarterback position this past week (30.53 points to 4.03). Hurts went 21-for-31 for 217 yards and two TDs in a 48-22 win over the Giants.
Jules Winnfield
Keep your head up, Jules Winnfield! You can take solace in the fact that your generosity couldn't have gone unnoticed. It takes a true winner to help someone like Rose's Nice Team succeed this week... and when the time comes, perhaps they can return the favor by going Defense-Kicker in the first two rounds of next year's draft, something along those lines.
