Coach Talk

Dawgman
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? Case in point: we really took that to heart by thoroughly outplaying Square357 at running back this past week (79 points to 13).
Square357
With just three catches this past week, the starting running backs for Square357 should remind their QBs to start checking down more frequently (and dial up a screen play or two).
