Coach Talk

My Name Is Prince
Identifying mismatches is a big key to success in football. Thanks to good production from the backfield, our squad definitely made that a point of emphasis this past week. We tripled The Replacements up at running back (39.05 points to 12.9). Saquon Barkley (229 total yards and a TD) did most of the heavy lifting, while Jordan Howard chipped in with 69 yards.
The Replacements
With not a single target thrown in their direction this past week the starting RBs for The Replacements should work to smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to start checking down more frequently.
