Coach Talk

Throwball Champ
Football is all about creating mismatches. Thanks to great performances by Christian McCaffrey and Ezekiel Elliott, our crew made that a point of emphasis this past week. We doubled Insanity up at running back (90 points to 42.93). McCaffrey had 175 total yards and two TDs, while Elliott logged 160 yards and two scores.
Insanity
Trust me on this one (as a coach who's practically never NOT been on the hot seat)... You can take comfort in the fact that there's always that scrappy Graduate Assistant job open at the community college down the road! Just like the league's new tackling rules, it's important to keep your head up, Insanity!
