Coach Talk

The Xtreme
You know, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to some stellar yardage production from our running backs, our team created a big disparity this week. Our three backfield starters logged 228 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs of Rooster's (291 total yards to 63), and we wound up tripling them at the position, 42.1 points to 12.3.
Rooster's
Hey, our guys were just resting up for Week 14, right? The eight starting offensive position players (three WRs, three RBs, two TEs) on Rooster's combined to record 323 yards and just two touchdowns in Week 13. Our opposition's skill players stuffed the statsheet by logging 650 yards and four scores.
