Coach Talk

Shock and Awe
You know, football is all about spotting (and then exploiting) the mismatches. With some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team created a big disparity this week. Our backfield recorded 161 more total yards than the RBs of FirstCavmortar (324 yards from scrimmage to 163), and we wound up doubling up them at the position, 44.4 points to 20.7.
FirstCavmortar
With a couple of catches on only three targets this past week, the starting running backs for FirstCavmortar should remind their QBs to start checking down more frequently (and dial up a screen play or two).
