Coach Talk

Trut Miners
Football is all about creating mismatches. We really took that to heart by nearly tripling Neopol jets at running back this past week (46 points to 15.5).
Neopol jets
Producing only four targets this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for Neopol jets should investigate why their quarterbacks are giving them the cold shoulder.
