Coach Talk

Dust N' Bones
Hey, the key to football is taking advantage of the mismatches. Fueled by solid numbers out of our ball-carriers, our squad made that a point of emphasis this past week. We doubled TJKP up at running back (32.6 points to 14.8). Chris Carson had 137 total yards and two TDs, while Devin Singletary chipped in with 89 yards.
TJKP
With a pair of catches on only three targets this past week, the starting RBs for TJKP should investigate why their QBs are giving them the cold shoulder.
