Coach Talk

Gringo's Team
Creating mismatches is a huge key to success in football. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Pack Rats at the wide receiver position (118.75 points to 49.1).
Pack Rats
We just took it easy so our guys could dominate in Week 2, right? The eight offensive position starters (four WRs, three RBs, one TE) on Pack Rats combined to register 498 yards and just three touchdowns in Week 1. Our opponent's skill players filled the statsheet by logging 667 yards and nine scores.
