Coach Talk

Sherry's Sharks
You know, the key to football is spotting the mismatches. With some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team certainly made that happen this week. Our three backfield starters recorded 133 more total yards than the RBs of The Carolina (360 yards from scrimmage to 227), and we ended up doubling up them at the position (56 points to 26.2).
The Carolina
Trust us, we've been in this industry for quite a long time now. Adversity happens, losses pile up, the fans whine a bit, and your local beat writers get a little testy with their incessant questions. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that in the world of fantasy football, winning really does cure all! Keep pushing forward, The Carolina!
