Coach Talk

Blue Falcons
A big key to success in football is taking advantage of the mismatches. Fueled by some stellar yardage production from our ball-carriers, our team really made that happen this week. Our three backfield starters tallied 61 more total yards than the RBs on Team Tadlock (163 yards from scrimmage to 102), and we wound up nearly tripling them at the position, 38.85 points to 13.2.
Team Tadlock
Logging only five targets this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for Team Tadlock should remind their quarterbacks to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
