Coach Talk

AlaskaDave
Spotting mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Thanks to stellar production out of the backfield, our squad made that a point of emphasis this past week. We thoroughly dominated Austin's Team at running back (34.4 points to 6.4). Derrick Henry had 130 total yards and two TDs, while Kenyan Drake chipped in with 79 yards.
Austin's Team
With just two catches on five targets this past week, the starting running backs for Austin's Team should work to smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to start checking down more often.
