Coach Talk

Mr& Mrs.Moore
Hey, football is all about spotting the mismatches. Case in point: we really took that to heart by nearly tripling Hardy Headbussaz at running back this past week (35 points to 11.9).
Hardy Headbussaz
"Not getting many opportunities" really isn't an excuse this week for Hardy Headbussaz. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) combined to see a whopping 21 targets in Week 9. With just 12 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
