Coach Talk

Krewe Edition
You know, the key to football is spotting (and then exploiting) the mismatches. Case in point: we really emphasized that by tripling Gang Green at running back this past week (50.3 points to 15.4).
Gang Green
Wow, talk about old-school ground n' pound: As a group, the starting RBs for Gang Green collectively recorded three receptions on just four measly targets this past week.
