Coach Talk

Cyclones
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to good numbers from the backfield, our team definitely took that to heart this past week. We doubled Smokin' Jays up at running back (36.7 points to 17). James White did most of the damage (177 total yards and two TDs), while Frank Gore sprinkled in some extra goodness with 25 yards.
Smokin' Jays
With just five catches this past week, the starting running backs for Smokin' Jays should work to smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to check down more often.
