Coach Talk

BigBen AbusementPark
Identifying mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Thanks to good numbers from our ball-carriers, our crew certainly took that to heart this past week. We doubled Back Breaker up at the running back spot (33.2 points to 14.6). Chris Carson (148 total yards and a TD) did most of the heavy lifting, while Kenyan Drake chipped in with 34 yards.

Sometimes lady luck just isn't on your side. Ya know... if fantasy football didn't pose a true challenge, then winning wouldn't be as awesome, right?? Keep your head up, Back Breaker!
