Coach Talk

DangeRuss
You know, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to some stellar yardage production from our running backs, our team created a noticeable disparity this week. Our backfield tallied 176 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs on Cock Blockers (398 total yards to 222), as we ultimately almost tripled them at the position, 64.8 points to 22.2.
Cock Blockers
All kinds of activity between the 20's: The six offensive skill starters (three RBs, two WRs, one TE) on Cock Blockers collectively gained a healthy 378 yards from scrimmage. Unfortunately, not one of those players could find his way to the end zone in Week 13.
