Coach Talk

flannel mafia
Spotting mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Thanks to stellar performances by Miles Sanders and Mark Ingram II, our crew definitely made that a point of emphasis this past week. We almost tripled Big Blue Wrecking Cr at the running back spot (58.8 points to 21). Sanders had 172 total yards and two TDs, while Ingram II logged 86 yards and two scores.
Big Blue Wrecking Cr
Big Blue Wrecking Cr may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. Our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 41 times in Week 15. With just 25 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
