Coach Talk

Whiteyz Whompers
The key to success in football is creating mismatches. Case in point: we made that a point of emphasis by royally dominating Birds of Slay at running back this past week (33 points to 9.2).
Birds of Slay
Producing only three receptions on five targets this past week, it appears that the starting RBs for Birds of Slay should work to smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to start checking down more often.
