Coach Talk

Ruffian's
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Freight Train at the wide receiver position (45.99 points to 20.45).
Freight Train
With three receptions on only four measly targets this past week, the starting running backs for Freight Train should smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to start checking down more often.
