Coach Talk

MangoKid
Football is all about creating mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by utterly dominating Apollo at the wide receiver position (72.1 points to 26.3).
Apollo
With only one catch on three targets this past week, the starting running backs for Apollo should remind their QBs to start checking down more frequently (and dial up a screen play or two).
