Coach Talk

High Fives
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. With solid production out of the backfield, our squad certainly made that a point of emphasis this past week. We thoroughly outscored Rebellion at the running back position (33.1 points to 3.4). Ronald Jones II had 121 total yards and two TDs, while Ezekiel Elliott chipped in with 80 yards.
Rebellion
Here's a list of sports scenarios where it's somewhat excusable to go 0-for-2: A double-fault in tennis, a hitter's line in baseball, and the Jazz facing MJ's Bulls in the Finals. That's basically it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Seems like Stephen Gostkowski may have just kicked himself to the waiver wire after this performance.
