Coach Talk

Dog House Blues
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? Our team took that to heart this past week and literally tripled ROARING TIGERS at the quarterback position (35.86 points to 10.72).
ROARING TIGERS
Whoa now, talk about under-utilized: The starting RBs for ROARING TIGERS collectively recorded only one reception on three targets this past week. Get those offensive coordinators to dial up a couple of screen plays in Week 16!
