Coach Talk

Injury Prone
Creating mismatches is a big key to success in football. With stellar performances by Alvin Kamara and Austin Ekeler, our crew took that to heart this past week. We doubled wasp up at the running back position (71.7 points to 31.8). Kamara had 174 total yards and two TDs, while Ekeler chipped in with 148 yards.
wasp
Ugh, talk about old-school ground n' pound. As a group, the starting backfield for wasp collectively registered only a pair of targets this past week. Instruct those offensive coordinators to dial up a couple of screen plays in Week 3!
