Coach Talk

Springfield Atoms
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? Case in point: we really took that to heart by thoroughly outplaying Melonville LaRues at running back this past week (29 points to 4).
Melonville LaRues
Hey, Melonville LaRues, did your receiving crew drop too many balls in practice or something? Seeing just 11 total targets in Week 12, our four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) clearly got on their respective QBs' bad sides.
