Coach Talk

Lawrence and Order
Spotting mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Thanks to some monster yardage production from our ball-carriers, our team created a big disparity this week. Our three backfield starters logged 108 more total yards than the RBs on Winged Helmets 2 (280 yards from scrimmage to 172), and we ended up nearly tripling them at the position, 53 points to 18.95.
Winged Helmets 2
"Not seeing enough chances" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for Winged Helmets 2. As a group, our six pass-catchers (four WR and two TE) were targeted a healthy 26 times in Week 18. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group recorded just 15 receptions.
