Coach Talk

Comissioner's Team
A big key to success in football is taking advantage of the mismatches. Fueled by some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team really made that happen this week. Our backfield logged 199 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs of Sepulcher of Doom (341 total yards to 142), as we ultimately doubled up them at the position (86.77 points to 42.83).
Sepulcher of Doom
"Not getting enough looks" really isn't an excuse this week for Sepulcher of Doom. Our pass-catchers (one WR and one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 11 targets in Week 3. With just seven total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
