Coach Talk

Greyhound Express
Spotting mismatches is a huge key to success in football. We really took that to heart this week by utterly dominating Bruising Knights at the wide receiver position (35.7 points to 13.2).
Bruising Knights
Our quarterback threw one interception and not a single touchdown? We may need to have a little debate here. Did Russell Wilson appear flustered back there in the pocket, or was the Rams secondary just that strong against the pass? This is the sort of judgment you'll need to make, Bruising Knights, as you deploy your lineup for Week 16 and beyond!
