Coach Talk

Jaymin
You know, this sport is all about spotting (and then exploiting) the mismatches. Thanks to an awesome display by Joe Burrow, we royally dominated Canton Thugs at the quarterback position this past week (38.1 points to 14.38). Burrow torched the Ravens secondary by logging 525 yards and four passing touchdowns.
Canton Thugs
Producing two catches on only three measly targets this past week, it appears that the starting running backs for Canton Thugs should remind their QBs to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
