Coach Talk

Silver Ballers
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. Fueled by some stellar yardage production from our running backs, our team created a noticeable disparity this week. Our backfield tallied 274 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs of Cheese (304 total yards to only 30), and we wound up royally dominating them at the position, 34.9 points to 5.5.
Cheese
With only three receptions this past week, the starting RBs for Cheese should look into why their QBs are giving them the silent treatment.
