Coach Talk

Tengen ✨✨
This sport is all about spotting the mismatches. Thanks to some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team certainly made that happen this week. Our backfield logged 199 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs of Straight Edge Society (295 total yards to 96), as we ultimately almost tripled them at the position (143.95 points to 50.03).
Straight Edge Society
With just three receptions this past week, the starting running backs for Straight Edge Society clearly should investigate why their QBs are giving them the cold shoulder.
