Coach Talk

Cardinal Sins
Hey, the key to football is creating and exploiting the mismatches, right? We really emphasized that by thoroughly overpowering Malice Hellboys at running back this past week (43 points to 8.9).
Malice Hellboys
So, Malice Hellboys, what did your receiving crew do to get written out of their teams' game plans this week? Accumulating only five targets as a group in Week 14, our two wide receivers obviously need to get in their respective QBs' ears this week in practice.
