Coach Talk

LightsKamaraAction
Identifying mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. Fueled by stellar performances by Saquon Barkley and Miles Sanders, our team certainly took that to heart this past week.

Trey&Clay's Empire
While it is that spooky time of the year, we'd prefer to see fewer tricks and more treats out of your starting players, Trey&Clay's Empire... 120.13 points was just a bit too ghoulish for our liking.
