Coach Talk

Aussig Ravens
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? Fueled by stellar performances by Derrick Henry and Jonathan Taylor, our team certainly took that to heart this past week. We doubled Tachov Titans up at the running back spot (64.7 points to 26.5). Henry had 222 total yards and two TDs, while Taylor logged 165 yards and two scores.
Tachov Titans
Registering four catches on just five targets this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for Tachov Titans should work to smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to start checking down more frequently.
