Coach Talk

eXacerBators
Hey, this sport is all about taking advantage of the mismatches. Thanks to great performances by Christian McCaffrey and Josh Jacobs, our crew certainly took that to heart this past week. We thoroughly dominated Beefman at the running back spot (60 points to 12). McCaffrey had 166 total yards and three TDs, while Jacobs logged 120 yards and two scores.
Beefman
You can rest easy knowing that your generosity did not go unnoticed, Beefman. It takes a true winner to help someone like eXacerBators succeed this week. Who knows, maybe they'll return the favor by selecting a couple of kickers early in next year's draft... something along those lines!
