Coach Talk

Wildcats
Hey, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. Fueled by good production from the backfield, our crew certainly took that to heart this past week. We utterly dominated Easy Mode at the running back position (30.3 points to 4.9). With 199 total yards and a TD, Dalvin Cook did most of the damage, while David Montgomery chipped in with 54 yards.
Easy Mode
With just one reception on three targets this past week, the starting running backs for Easy Mode should smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to dump it down more often.
