Coach Talk

Square357
Hey, this sport is all about creating mismatches, right? Thanks to stellar performances by Todd Gurley II and Tarik Cohen, our squad definitely took that to heart this past week. We thoroughly outplayed King Cobras at running back (78 points to 8). Gurley II had 225 total yards and two TDs, while Cohen logged 121 yards.
King Cobras
With just zero receptions on two targets this past week, the starting running backs for King Cobras should remind their quarterbacks to check down more often (and dial up a screen play or two).
