Coach Talk

La Cienega Rivermen
Hey, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by soundly outplaying AjonesArodgers at the wide receiver position (52.8 points to 11.2).
AjonesArodgers
Hey, AjonesArodgers, did your receiving crew talk bad about their offensive coordinators or something? Accumulating just nine targets as a group this past week, our three wide receivers clearly got on their respective QBs' bad sides.
