Coach Talk

Thoroughbreds
Football is all about identifying the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Green and White at the wide receiver position (93.4 points to 38.7).
Green and White
This outcome was just too spooky for us, Green and White! It turned out that Thoroughbreds played the role of Boogeyman while Cameron Heyward and Justin Jefferson decided to be ghosts for your team this past week. All tricks and no treats!
