Coach Talk

Dudley
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? Fueled by solid numbers from the backfield, our crew certainly made that a point of emphasis this past week. We nearly quadrupled Big Show at running back (56.4 points to 14.98). Derrick Henry had 238 total yards and four TDs, while Alfred Blue logged 21 yards.
Big Show
Unless Big Show wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively received a hearty 24 targets in Week 14. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group pulled down just 13 catches.
