Coach Talk

Hacky's Team
This sport is all about creating mismatches. Fueled by solid production out of our ball-carriers, our squad certainly made that a point of emphasis this past week. We tripled Mitch's Bitch's up at the running back position (48 points to 15.1). With 213 total yards and a TD, Austin Ekeler did most of the heavy lifting, while Nick Chubb chipped in with 117 yards.
Mitch's Bitch's
With four receptions on just five targets this past week, the starting running backs for Mitch's Bitch's clearly should look into why their quarterbacks are giving them the cold shoulder.
