Coach Talk

Closet of Hope-fuls
Creating mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Fueled by some stellar yardage production from our running backs, our team really made that happen this week. Our three starting backs logged 309 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs of eric's Team (456 total yards to 147), and we ended up almost tripling them at the position (61.6 points to 20.7).
eric's Team
Hey, eric's Team, did your wideouts drop too many balls in practice or something? Accumulating only five targets combined this past week, our two wide receivers clearly got on the bad side of their respective QBs.
