Coach Talk

Royersford Rush
Football is all about creating mismatches. We made that a point of emphasis by doubling up Pantherpride at running back this past week (34.5 points to 17).
Pantherpride
Pantherpride may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) combined to see a grand total of 21 targets in Week 14. With only 13 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
