Coach Talk

Yahweh's Grand Team
Hey, football is all about recognizing the mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by quadrupling Pottsville Maroons 4 at the wide receiver position (28.5 points to 6.9).
Pottsville Maroons 4
Unless Pottsville Maroons 4 wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many chances" is definitely not a reasonable excuse this time around. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 16 times in Week 9. With only 10 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
