Coach Talk

The Great Dobbilama
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? With great performances by D'Onta Foreman and Derrick Henry, our team took that to heart this past week. We thoroughly outplayed Hey Smokie at the running back spot (40.1 points to 11.4). Foreman had 165 total yards and a TD, while Henry logged 126 yards.
Hey Smokie
Hey Smokie may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 33 times in Week 16. With only 20 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
