Coach Talk

Death From Above
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team created a big disparity this week. Our three starting backs put up 150 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs of Megatron’s Minions (218 total yards to 68), as we ultimately royally dominated them at the position (33.3 points to 13.3).
Megatron’s Minions
Registering one reception on just two measly targets this past week, it appears that the starting running backs for Megatron’s Minions should remind their QBs to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
