Coach Talk

Team 2017
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to some stellar yardage production from our running backs, our team created a big disparity this week. Our three backfield starters logged 332 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs on Destroyers UCME (421 total yards to 89), and we ended up utterly dominating them at the position (66.1 points to 8.9).
Destroyers UCME
Yo, Destroyers UCME, what'd your wideouts do to get written out of their teams' game plans this week? Accumulating just nine targets combined this past week, our three wide receivers clearly need to get on their QBs' good sides this week in practice.
