Coach Talk

Homebrew Homies
You know, the key to football is spotting (and then exploiting) the mismatches. Fueled by some stellar yardage production from our ball-carriers, our team created a noticeable disparity this week. Our backfield put up 87 more total yards than the RBs on Playboys (164 yards from scrimmage to 77), as we ultimately doubled up them at the position, 30.95 points to 14.21.
Playboys
Logging one reception on only two targets this past week, it seems like the starting running backs for Playboys should remind their QBs to start checking down more often (and dial up a screen play or two).
