Coach Talk

Papasmrff360
You know, the key to football is taking advantage of the mismatches. Thanks to solid performances by Chris Carson and Tarik Cohen, our squad certainly made that a point of emphasis this past week. We almost quadrupled Droppin Bombs at running back (35.5 points to 9.2). Carson had 148 total yards and a TD, while Cohen logged 52 yards.
Droppin Bombs
With only two receptions on four targets this past week, the starting running backs for Droppin Bombs should work to smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to dump it off more frequently.
