Coach Talk

MotorCityFelines
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. Fueled by some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team created a big disparity this week. Our three starting backs logged 259 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs of Dragon's Pearl (355 total yards to 96), and we wound up tripling them at the position (103 points to 31.52).
Dragon's Pearl
Ugh, talk about under-utilized: The starting backfield for Dragon's Pearl collectively registered just five targets this past week.
