Coach Talk

The Hawks
Identifying mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Fueled by some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team certainly made that happen this week. Our three starting backs logged 158 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs on Stator Hater (335 total yards to 177), and we wound up doubling up them at the position, 49.5 points to 22.2.
Stator Hater
Producing only one reception on five targets this past week, it seems like the starting running backs for Stator Hater should investigate why their quarterbacks are giving them the cold shoulder.
