Coach Talk

Flying Flounders
Hey, the key to football is spotting (and then exploiting) the mismatches. With solid performances by Dalvin Cook and Christian McCaffrey, our team definitely took that to heart this past week. We absolutely dominated Harrisburg Hitmen at the running back spot (43.37 points to 5.4). Cook had 163 total yards and two TDs, while McCaffrey logged 170 yards.
Harrisburg Hitmen
Unless Harrisburg Hitmen wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many opportunities" is definitely not a valid excuse this time around. Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) combined to get a hearty 27 targets in Week 15. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they reeled in just 11 receptions.
