Coach Talk

Diggers
You know, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by almost tripling Panzer Division at the wide receiver position (48.7 points to 17.5).
Panzer Division
Posting only a pair of targets this past week, it appears that the starting RBs for Panzer Division should work to smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to start checking down more often.
