Coach Talk

Marc's Genius Team
You know, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by thoroughly outplaying John's NyC Giants at the wide receiver position (54 points to 20).
John's NyC Giants
Recording only a pair of receptions on four targets this past week, it appears that the starting RBs for John's NyC Giants should work to smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to start checking down more frequently.
