Coach Talk

Boats and Joes
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. Fueled by solid performances by Christian McCaffrey and Joe Mixon, our crew certainly made that a point of emphasis this past week. We thoroughly dominated MGKVSBRD at running back (26.8 points to 10). With 137 total yards and a TD, McCaffrey did most of the damage, while Mixon chipped in with 71 yards.
MGKVSBRD
Recording just one single target this past week, it seems like the starting running backs for MGKVSBRD should remind their quarterbacks to dump it down more often (and dial up a screen play or two).
