Coach Talk

OLD DOG
Hey, the key to football is taking advantage of the mismatches. Fueled by some monster yardage production from our ball-carriers, our team created a big disparity this week. Our three starting backs recorded 292 more total yards than the RBs of Deadlyhamma (387 yards from scrimmage to 95), as we ultimately quadrupled them at the position (65.89 points to 15.5).
Deadlyhamma
With zero catches on only one target this past week, the starting running backs for Deadlyhamma should smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to start checking down more frequently.
