Coach Talk

Pulsechamber
Creating mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. Case in point: we made that a point of emphasis by utterly dominating Chris's Team at running back this past week (64.2 points to 12.9).
Chris's Team
Producing just one single target this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for Chris's Team clearly need to smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to check down more often.
