Coach Talk

EagleTalin's
Football is all about identifying (and exploiting) the mismatches. With great performances by Chris Carson and Nick Chubb, our team took that to heart this past week. We thoroughly outscored Maximum Tryhard at running back (56.5 points to 12.5). Carson had 137 total yards and two TDs, while Chubb logged 148 yards.
Maximum Tryhard
Posting only five targets this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for Maximum Tryhard should smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to dump it off more often.
