Coach Talk

skwaH s'J
This sport is all about taking advantage of the mismatches. Thanks to good production from the backfield, our team took that to heart this past week. We quadrupled South Ballers at the running back spot (21.3 points to 4.8). With 145 total yards and a TD, Tevin Coleman did most of the heavy lifting, while Lamar Miller sprinkled in some extra goodness with eight yards.
South Ballers
"Not seeing enough chances" isn't an excuse this week for South Ballers. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) combined to get a hearty 31 targets in Week 15. With only 17 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
