Coach Talk

King Crabbz
A big key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to some stellar yardage production from our running backs, our team created a big disparity this week. Our three starting backs logged 208 more total yards than the RBs on Mean Machine (396 yards from scrimmage to 188), and we ended up tripling them at the position, 63.6 points to 18.8.
Mean Machine
Ugh, talk about under-utilized. As a group, the starting RBs for Mean Machine collectively logged four catches on just five targets this past week. Instruct those offensive coordinators to dial up a couple of screen plays in Week 14!
