Coach Talk

LambeauLeapers
Creating mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Case in point: we really emphasized that by doubling up Splintered at running back this past week (34 points to 15).
Splintered
Recording just a pair of receptions on six targets this past week, it seems like the starting running backs for Splintered clearly need to investigate why their QBs are giving them the silent treatment.
