Coach Talk

Big Spenders
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? Thanks to some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team created a noticeable disparity this week. Our three starting backs put up 94 more total yards than the RBs on Nuk Nuk Jokes (211 yards from scrimmage to 117), and we wound up doubling up them at the position, 48.2 points to 23.4.
Nuk Nuk Jokes
With two catches on just three measly targets this past week, the starting running backs for Nuk Nuk Jokes should remind their quarterbacks to start checking down more frequently (and dial up a screen play or two).
