Coach Talk

Evil Corp
The key to success in football is creating mismatches. We really took that to heart by doubling up Can Crushers at running back this past week (44.25 points to 20.73).
Can Crushers
"Not getting many opportunities" won't fly as an excuse this week for Can Crushers. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 22 times in Week 13. With only 12 total receptions, this group may have some chemistry issues.
