Coach Talk

Mr. Rodgers' Heroes
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. Fueled by some monster yardage production from our ball-carriers, our team really made that happen this week. Our three backfield starters tallied 129 more total yards than the RBs of Truther Bust (329 yards from scrimmage to 200), and we wound up doubling up them at the position (64.9 points to 29).
Truther Bust
Hey, we were just resting up for Week 13, right? The eight offensive skill starters (four WRs, three RBs, one TE) on Truther Bust combined to record 360 yards and just two touchdowns this past week. Our opponent's skill players definitely outperformed us by logging 667 yards and five scores.
