Coach Talk

Robert's Rad Team
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to good production out of our ball-carriers, our crew definitely made that a point of emphasis this past week. We absolutely dominated Roman's Legit Team at the running back position (25.7 points to 4.2). Todd Gurley II did most of the damage (156 total yards and a TD), while Rex Burkhead chipped in with 26 yards.
Roman's Legit Team
Posting only one catch on four targets this past week, it appears that the starting RBs for Roman's Legit Team should look into why their QBs are giving them the silent treatment.
