Coach Talk

Big Skillet
Identifying mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Case in point: we made that a point of emphasis by almost tripling People's Champion at running back this past week (17.4 points to 5.9).
People's Champion
Ugh, talk about old-school ground n' pound. The starting backfield for People's Champion collectively recorded four receptions on only five targets this past week. Get those offensive coordinators to dial up a screen play or two in Week 10!
