Coach Talk

Black Hyenas
You know, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to a sound outing from Cam Newton, we doubled up The Willowdale 46 at the quarterback position this past week (47 points to 22). Newton went 30-for-44 for 397 yards, one TD, and an INT in a 35-30 loss to the Seahawks.
The Willowdale 46
Logging three catches on only four measly targets this past week, it appears that the starting running backs for The Willowdale 46 clearly should smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to check down more often.
