Coach Talk

Mr. Phamtastic
This sport is all about creating mismatches. Case in point: we made that a point of emphasis by nearly tripling Snakebitten!! at running back this past week (49.9 points to 16.7).
Snakebitten!!
With just a pair of catches this past week, the starting running backs for Snakebitten!! obviously should smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to start checking down more often.
