Coach Talk

Wicked Clowns
This sport is all about taking advantage of the mismatches. We really emphasized that by thoroughly overpowering Morningwood at running back this past week (32.1 points to 4.4).
Morningwood
Logging only five targets this past week, it appears that the starting RBs for Morningwood should investigate why their QBs are giving them the cold shoulder.
