Coach Talk

Charlie's Angels
Creating mismatches is a big component to winning in football. With some monster yardage production from our ball-carriers, our team created a noticeable disparity this week. Our backfield put up 134 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs on Valley Vikings (281 total yards to 147), and we wound up doubling up them at the position, 71.25 points to 30.25.
Valley Vikings
Whoa now, talk about old-school ground n' pound: As a group, the starting backfield for Valley Vikings collectively registered just three targets this past week. Instruct those quarterbacks to dump it down a little more often in Week 2!
