Coach Talk

Towns
Creating mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Fueled by stout performances by Ezekiel Elliott and Sony Michel, our squad certainly took that to heart this past week. We tripled GibraltarRock up at running back (47.2 points to 14.5). Elliott had 240 total yards and a TD, while Michel logged 112 yards.
GibraltarRock
Talk about under-utilized. The starting backfield for GibraltarRock collectively registered just one catch on three measly targets this past week. Tell those quarterbacks to check down a little more often in Week 5!
