Coach Talk

Cocks
You know, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. With some stellar yardage production from our ball-carriers, our team created a big disparity this week. Our three backfield starters logged 110 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs of WarEagle (244 total yards to 134), and we ended up doubling up them at the position, 39.4 points to 18.45.
WarEagle
Only one field goal on three attempts? Sounds like Adam Vinatieri might be kicking himself to the waiver wire after this performance.
