Coach Talk

The Chogram
Hey, the key to football is taking advantage of the mismatches, right? Thanks to some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team created a noticeable disparity this week. Our three starting backs recorded 226 total yards than the RBs on The Tidy Troops (344 yards from scrimmage to 118), and we ended up utterly dominating them at the position (69.4 points to 25.8).
The Tidy Troops
Well, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 40 times in Week 3. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group notched just 21 receptions.
