Coach Talk

Greyhound Express
Hey, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. Our team took that to heart this past week and literally tripled Ram's Den at the quarterback position (68.23 points to 21.7).
Ram's Den
Look, we've been at it long enough to know that every once in a while, four extra points will just instantly appear out of nowhere... and then in some cases, like this week, they won't! In the grand scheme of things, the most important thing is that you tried. Keep your head up, Ram's Den!
