Coach Talk

Rock Z06's Rad Team
Spotting mismatches is a big key to success in football. With good numbers from our ball-carriers, our crew certainly took that to heart this past week. We thoroughly outplayed STP2 at running back (58.5 points to 12.3). Joe Mixon (211 total yards and five TDs) did most of the heavy lifting, while AJ Dillon chipped in with 44 yards.
STP2
Unless STP2 wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many chances" cannot be an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 27 times in Week 9. With just 14 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
