Coach Talk

Doughboys
Hey, football is all about spotting the mismatches. With some stellar yardage production from our ball-carriers, our team created a noticeable disparity this week. Our three backfield starters tallied 195 more total yards than the RBs on Brewmasters (240 yards from scrimmage to just 45), and we wound up utterly dominating them at the position, 50 points to 7.5.
Brewmasters
Talk about under-utilized. The starting backfield for Brewmasters collectively recorded three receptions on just four targets this past week. Tell those quarterbacks to check down a little more often in Week 4!
