Coach Talk

Aussig Gunners
Hey, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. Fueled by good production from our ball-carriers, our crew took that to heart this past week. We doubled Tachov Argonauts up at running back (24 points to 11.9). David Johnson (109 total yards and a TD) did most of the damage, while Le'Veon Bell chipped in with 46 yards.
Tachov Argonauts
Wow, talk about under-utilized: As a group, the starting backfield for Tachov Argonauts collectively registered just three receptions on five targets this past week. Tell those offensive coordinators to draw up a screen play or two in Week 2!
