Coach Talk

Headbussas
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches, right? We really took that to heart by quadrupling Wardawgs at running back this past week (43.4 points to 10.4).
Wardawgs
Wow, talk about under-utilized: As a group, the starting RBs for Wardawgs collectively logged just one measly target this past week. Tell those offensive coordinators to draw up a couple of screen plays in Week 6!
