Coach Talk

Saddlers
Hey, football is all about taking advantage of the mismatches. With good production out of our ball-carriers, our crew definitely took that to heart this past week. We doubled Hill Street Blues II up at running back (18.4 points to 8). Nick Chubb (113 total yards and a TD) did most of the damage, while David Montgomery sprinkled in some extra goodness with 11 yards.
Hill Street Blues II
"Not getting many chances" won't cut it as an excuse this week for Hill Street Blues II. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 30 times in Week 3. With only 14 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
