Coach Talk

Gesus101
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to some stellar yardage production from our running backs, our team created a noticeable disparity this week. Our three backfield starters logged 107 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs on Zeke of Endor (290 total yards to 183), and we wound up doubling up them at the position (62 points to 28.3).
Zeke of Endor
Tis the season, Zeke of Endor! We hope the GM of Gesus101 will pen a thank-you card for the generous gift you let them have this past week.
