Coach Talk

98 DarkPink Balloons
The key to success in football is spotting the mismatches. Thanks to stout production from our ball-carriers, our crew definitely took that to heart this past week. We absolutely dominated CircleTheWagons at the running back spot (42.2 points to 6.8). With 156 total yards and three TDs, Derrick Henry did most of the damage, while James Conner chipped in with 71 yards.
CircleTheWagons
Logging only five targets this past week, it seems like the starting running backs for CircleTheWagons should smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to check down more frequently.
