Coach Talk

THE BOSS
The key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. Case in point: we really emphasized that by tripling budapest bulliess at running back this past week (30 points to 10).
budapest bulliess
"Not getting many chances" really isn't an excuse this week for budapest bulliess. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 34 times in Week 10. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they pulled down only 20 balls.
