Coach Talk

LIONPWR
Identifying mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. Thanks to some monster yardage production from our ball-carriers, our team created a noticeable disparity this week. Our backfield recorded 189 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs on PIERMONSTERS (384 total yards to 195), and we wound up doubling up them at the position, 79.4 points to 34.5.
PIERMONSTERS
Hey, we were just resting up for Week 7, right? The nine offensive skill starters on PIERMONSTERS (five WRs, three RBs, one TE) combined to register 521 yards and just three touchdowns this past week. Our opponent's skill players showed us how it's supposed to be done by logging 762 yards and seven scores.
