Coach Talk
Oilers
Football is all about exploiting the mismatches. We not only doubled up SouthPaw Shark at WR (50.35 points to 24.55), we also doubled them at QB (47.74 points to 20.18).
SouthPaw Shark
Don't get too distraught, SouthPaw Shark! Take my word for it (this is coming from a coach who's experienced life on the hot seat)... You can take comfort knowing that there's always that scrappy Assistant Coaching job open at the nearby Pop Warner team down the road!
