Coach Talk

John's Team
Hey, football is all about exploiting the mismatches, right? Fueled by some stellar yardage production from our ball-carriers, our team really made that happen this week. Our four starting backs put up 206 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs on Tidal Wave (304 total yards to 98), and we wound up tripling them at the position (148.4 points to 42.8).
Tidal Wave
Wow, talk about old-school ground n' pound. The starting RBs for Tidal Wave did not get a single target in the passing game this past week.
