Coach Talk

Mr. Nobody
You know, this sport is all about spotting (and then exploiting) the mismatches. Fueled by some stellar yardage production from our running backs, our team certainly made that happen this week. Our backfield put up 185 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs of I Heart Chiavettas (336 total yards to 151), and we wound up doubling up them at the position (53.1 points to 22.6).
I Heart Chiavettas
Registering just three receptions on five targets this past week, it appears that the starting RBs for I Heart Chiavettas should work to smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to dump it down more often.
