Coach Talk

Squirrel Murphy’s
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. With some stellar yardage production from our ball-carriers, our team really made that happen this week. Our three backfield starters put up 289 more total yards than the RBs on ShutTheFuckUpJimmy (423 yards from scrimmage to 134), and we ended up utterly dominating them at the position (76.3 points to 16.4).
ShutTheFuckUpJimmy
With just three receptions on five targets this past week, the starting RBs for ShutTheFuckUpJimmy should smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to start checking down more frequently.
