Coach Talk

Thunderstorm
Hey, the key to football is spotting the mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Caribbean Bombers at the wide receiver position (60 points to 27).
Caribbean Bombers
With only five catches this past week, the starting RBs for Caribbean Bombers obviously need to smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to check down more often.
