Coach Talk

Twisters
Creating mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Fueled by some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team created a big disparity this week. Our backfield put up 165 more total yards than the RBs of Dr. Peppa (376 yards from scrimmage to 211), and we wound up tripling them at the position (61.6 points to 19.1).
Dr. Peppa
"Not getting enough looks" really isn't an excuse this week for Dr. Peppa. Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) combined to receive a respectable 18 targets in Week 9. With just eight total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
