Coach Talk

Laosace's Legendary Team
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team created a big disparity this week. Our three backfield starters logged 98 more total yards than the RBs of Riders On The Storm (230 yards from scrimmage to 132), and we wound up doubling up them at the position, 119 points to 52.7.
Riders On The Storm
Unless Riders On The Storm wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough opportunities" is definitely not a reasonable excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) combined to receive a grand total of 28 targets in Week 13. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they hauled in just 14 receptions.
