Coach Talk

Hrustin Cowboys
Creating mismatches is a huge key to success in football. With good production out of the backfield, our crew certainly made that a point of emphasis this past week. We quadrupled Tábor Bay Devil Rays at the running back position (31.1 points to 7.5). With 192 total yards and a TD, Aaron Jones did most of the heavy lifting, while Ronald Jones II chipped in with 59 yards.
Tábor Bay Devil Rays
Unless Tábor Bay Devil Rays wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively got a respectable 26 targets in Week 14. With only 16 total catches, that group may have some chemistry issues.
