Coach Talk

Let's go
This sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to great performances by James White and Christian McCaffrey, our team definitely made that a point of emphasis this past week. We tripled brenda's Team up at the running back spot (36.5 points to 11.8). White had 77 total yards and a TD, while McCaffrey logged 93 yards.
brenda's Team
Welp, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 23 times in Week 5. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group reeled in only 12 receptions.
