Coach Talk

Ineedmowins
Hey, this sport is all about taking advantage of the mismatches. We really emphasized that by doubling up Ma Barker at running back this past week (20.9 points to 10).
Ma Barker
With just four receptions this past week, the starting RBs for Ma Barker obviously should look into why their quarterbacks are giving them the silent treatment.
