Coach Talk

Boondock Saints
This sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. With some monster yardage production from our ball-carriers, our team certainly made that happen this week. Our backfield tallied 140 total yards than the RBs of PACKERS Brno (238 yards from scrimmage to 98), as we ultimately tripled them at the position (29.8 points to 9.8).
PACKERS Brno
Only one field goal on five attempts? Seems like Mason Crosby may have just kicked himself to the waiver wire following this performance.
