Coach Talk

Xalt's Zappers
Football is all about creating mismatches. Thanks to some stellar yardage production from our ball-carriers, our team certainly made that happen this week. Our three backfield starters logged 288 more total yards than the RBs of Arlan's Army (387 yards from scrimmage to 99), and we ended up almost tripling them at the position, 48.19 points to 17.15.
Arlan's Army
So, Arlan's Army, what'd your pass-catchers do to get written out of their teams' game plans this week? Accumulating just seven total targets in Week 14, our starting receiver crew (two WR, one TE) clearly got on the bad side of their respective QBs.
