Coach Talk

Vikes
You know, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. With stout performances by Jamaal Williams and Aaron Jones, our crew definitely took that to heart this past week. We nearly tripled Zelinsky Fresno at the running back position (36.4 points to 12.9). Williams had 109 total yards and two TDs, while Jones chipped in with 115 yards.
Zelinsky Fresno
Listen up, Zelinsky Fresno! The good news is that there's still a boatload of time remaining to turn this season around. Your next few opponents may glance at your win-loss record and foolishly believe they've got a cakewalk. Do what Chase Edmonds and Michael Carter would in this scenario and keep pounding away... catch these complacent GMs off-guard!
