Coach Talk

Blade Executioner
Hey, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. With some stellar yardage production from our running backs, our team really made that happen this week. Our backfield recorded 89 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs of Crazed Doggs (201 total yards to 112), and we wound up royally dominating them at the position, 28.05 points to 4.6.
Crazed Doggs
Logging a pair of receptions on only three measly targets this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for Crazed Doggs should investigate why their QBs are giving them the cold shoulder.
