Coach Talk

Lieutenant Dan2
Spotting mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. We not only doubled up Back Breaker at RB (21.4 points to 9.5), we also doubled them at QB (30.22 to 12.16).
Back Breaker
Talk about under-utilized. As a group, the starting RBs for Back Breaker collectively logged only four targets this past week.
