Coach Talk

Royersford Rush
Creating mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Fueled by stellar outings by DeAndre Hopkins and Michael Thomas, our squad really took that to heart this past week. We doubled up Blue Lightning at wide receiver (42.4 points to 17.3). Hopkins had 170 receiving yards and two TDs while Thomas chipped in with 49 yards.
Blue Lightning
"Not seeing many looks" won't be a reasonable excuse this week for Blue Lightning. Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 22 times in Week 15. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they managed just 11 receptions.
