Coach Talk

David's Team
Spotting mismatches is a big key to success in football. Fueled by stout performances by Saquon Barkley and Spencer Ware, our crew certainly took that to heart this past week. We doubled BLITZSKINZS up at running back (43.1 points to 18.2). Barkley did most of the heavy lifting (197 total yards and a TD), while Ware chipped in with 129 yards.
BLITZSKINZS
All of the cake, none of the icing: The six starting offensive skill players (three WRs, two RBs, one TE) on BLITZSKINZS collectively gained a healthy 385 total yards. No one from that group was able to score a touchdown in Week 14.
