Coach Talk

DETROIT DEMONZ
Identifying mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Case in point: we really emphasized that by doubling up Mudbugz at running back this past week (124.8 points to 51.3).
Mudbugz
Here's a list of sports scenarios where it's borderline acceptable to go 0-for-2: A double-fault in tennis, a hitter's line in baseball, and the Jazz facing MJ's Bulls in the Finals. That's just about it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Seems like Tyler Bass might be kicking himself to the waiver wire following that sort of performance.
