Coach Talk

tommy's Legit Team
Identifying mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Our team emerged victorious in several key areas this week: we doubled Citrus Coolers at QB (35.14 points to 15.2), almost tripled them at WR (42.4 to 14.5), and utterly dominated them at RB (25.6 to 5).
Citrus Coolers
Yo, Citrus Coolers, what did your pass-catchers do to annoy their quarterbacks this week? Seeing only seven total targets in Week 9, our starting receiver crew (three WR, one TE) clearly need to get the attention of their respective offensive coordinators this week in practice.
