Coach Talk

The Hurts Locker
You know, football is all about taking advantage of the mismatches. Case in point: we really took that to heart by utterly dominating Carson’s Team at running back this past week (29.5 points to 11).
Carson’s Team
Talk about under-utilized: As a group, the starting RBs for Carson’s Team collectively logged only one reception on four targets this past week. Instruct those quarterbacks to dump it down a little more often in Week 10!
