Coach Talk

Scott's Team
The key to success in football is creating mismatches. With some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team created a noticeable disparity this week. Our three starting backs logged 239 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs of Go Borderline (372 total yards to 133), and we ended up utterly dominating them at the position (58.7 points to 16.3).
Go Borderline
"Not getting many chances" isn't an excuse this week for Go Borderline. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 28 times in Week 3. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group notched only 16 receptions.
