Coach Talk

DPRK Rocketmen
Spotting mismatches is a huge key to success in football. With great performances by Melvin Gordon III and Christian McCaffrey, our squad definitely made that a point of emphasis this past week. We thoroughly dominated Chark Attack at the running back position (37.8 points to 14.7). Gordon III had 120 total yards and a TD, while McCaffrey logged 93 yards.
Chark Attack
With four receptions on just five targets this past week, the starting RBs for Chark Attack clearly should smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to dump it off more frequently.
