Coach Talk

98 DarkPink Balloons
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to good production out of the backfield, our crew took that to heart this past week. We almost quadrupled Dixie Normas at the running back position (43.3 points to 11.1). With 173 total yards and three TDs, James Conner did most of the damage, while David Johnson chipped in with 40 yards.
Dixie Normas
Wow, talk about under-utilized. As a group, the starting RBs for Dixie Normas did not register a single target in the passing game this past week. Get those quarterbacks to dump it down a little more often in Week 10!
