Coach Talk

Minor Prophets
Spotting mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Not only did we double up Layne Ducks at RB (33.2 points to 14), we also doubled them at WR (37.5 to 15.2).
Layne Ducks
Recording only four targets this past week, it seems like the starting running backs for Layne Ducks should investigate why their quarterbacks are giving them the silent treatment.
