Coach Talk

Trashers
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team created a big disparity this week. Our three backfield starters recorded 153 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs of Lamar&CalvinRunTrainOnYaMoms (340 total yards to 187), and we wound up doubling up them at the position, 53.5 points to 23.2.
Lamar&CalvinRunTrainOnYaMoms
Don't get too distraught, Lamar&CalvinRunTrainOnYaMoms! The good news is that there's still a boatload of football left to be played. The next few opponents may look at your record and foolishly believe they've got a cakewalk. Do what Javonte Williams and Devin Singletary would in this situation and continue pounding away... catch those complacent managers off-guard!
