Coach Talk

Fluffy
Identifying mismatches is a huge key to success in football. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Lightning Bolts at the wide receiver position (47.16 points to 21.54).
Lightning Bolts
With four receptions on just five targets this past week, the starting running backs for Lightning Bolts obviously should smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to start checking down more often.
