Coach Talk

Tripping Billies
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? Fueled by solid performances by Tevin Coleman and James Conner, our squad certainly took that to heart this past week. We thoroughly outscored Ertz's Eagles at running back (44.27 points to 3.26). Coleman had 156 total yards and two TDs, while Conner logged 163 yards.
Ertz's Eagles
We were just taking it easy so our players could dominate in Week 10, right? The seven starting offensive position players on Ertz's Eagles (three WRs, two RBs, two TEs) combined to record 341 yards and just two touchdowns this past week. The skill players on Tripping Billies showed off how it's supposed to be done by logging 600 yards and eight scores.
