Coach Talk

MICHAEL's Matchless Team
Hey, the key to football is finding the mismatches. Our team took that to heart this past week and doubled up Swansea Dragons at the quarterback position (22.24 points to 9.9).
Swansea Dragons
Swansea Dragons will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) combined to see a healthy 23 targets in Week 15. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group notched just 13 receptions.
