Coach Talk

The Fishguts
The key to success in football is creating mismatches. With some monster yardage production from our ball-carriers, our team created a big disparity this week. Our three starting backs put up 103 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs on Hoodsta 2 (338 total yards to 235), and we wound up royally dominating them at the position (69.8 points to 27.5).
Hoodsta 2
Unless Hoodsta 2 wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many chances" cannot be a valid excuse this time around. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 19 times in Week 16. With only six total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
