Coach Talk

Moetown
Hey, football is all about creating mismatches, right? We made that a point of emphasis by royally dominating ManEaters at running back this past week (33.2 points to 9.37).
ManEaters
Talk about under-utilized: The starting RBs for ManEaters collectively logged a pair of catches on just three measly targets this past week. Tell those offensive coordinators to draw up a couple of screen plays in Week 14!
