Coach Talk

Long Island Steelers
Getting the win is most important, Long Island Steelers, but we've also identified one spot where we can get better as a team; our running backs were soundly outclassed this past week. Zonovan Knight (13 yards from scrimmage, no TDs) logged only 7.3 points in Week 16, while the starting backfield for Krásná Lípa Patriots tripled us up with a score of 22.
Krásná Lípa Patriots
Logging only four targets this past week, it appears that the starting RBs for Krásná Lípa Patriots should remind their QBs to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
