Coach Talk

Darkhorse198
The key to success in football is creating mismatches. Fueled by some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team created a big disparity this week. Our backfield put up 163 more total yards than the RBs of Mr. Phamtastic (293 yards from scrimmage to 130), and we wound up thoroughly dominating them at the position, 42.3 points to 15.5.
Mr. Phamtastic
Lots of cake, no icing: The six offensive position starters (three RBs, two WRs, one TE) on Mr. Phamtastic combined to record a healthy 402 total yards. No one from that group could find his way to the end zone in Week 15.
