Coach Talk

Raider4life
Identifying mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. We really emphasized that by utterly dominating Bloodlust at running back this past week (27.55 points to 3.25).
Bloodlust
Three field goal tries, and not not even one could get through the uprights? Sounds like Dan Bailey might be kicking himself to the waiver wire following this performance.
