Coach Talk

Kaepernicus
Hey, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches, right? Fueled by good numbers out of our ball-carriers, our team certainly made that a point of emphasis this past week. We nearly tripled Barbara's Team at running back (33.2 points to 11.7). Christian McCaffrey did most of the damage (133 total yards and two TDs), while Todd Gurley II sprinkled in some extra goodness with 19 yards.
Barbara's Team
Recording zero catches on just one target this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for Barbara's Team should remind their quarterbacks to check down more frequently (and dial up a screen play or two).
