Coach Talk

Flash Gordon
This sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. With stellar performances by James Conner and Melvin Gordon III, our team definitely took that to heart this past week. We tripled Daniel's Team up at the running back spot (52.5 points to 15.9). Conner had 185 total yards and two TDs, while Gordon III logged 120 yards.
Daniel's Team
Producing one reception on just two measly targets this past week, it appears that the starting RBs for Daniel's Team obviously should look into why their quarterbacks are giving them the silent treatment.
