Coach Talk

Y! Is Right I'm Weak
Hey, football is all about taking advantage of the mismatches, right? Thanks to some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team certainly made that happen this week. Our backfield recorded 180 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs of Don Julio (257 total yards to 77), as we ultimately utterly dominated them at the position, 42.2 points to 9.2.
Don Julio
Posting only three receptions on five targets this past week, it seems like the starting running backs for Don Julio clearly need to smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to dump it off more frequently.
