Coach Talk

Doughboys
This sport is all about creating mismatches. Case in point: we really took that to heart by almost tripling Warm Bodies at running back this past week (32.5 points to 10.9).
Warm Bodies
Ugh, talk about old-school ground n' pound: The starting RBs for Warm Bodies collectively recorded three catches on just four measly targets this past week. Instruct those offensive coordinators to draw up a couple of screen plays in Week 6!
