Coach Talk

TItansDownUnder
Creating mismatches is a big key to success in football. With some stellar yardage production from our running backs, our team created a noticeable disparity this week. Our three backfield starters recorded 286 more total yards than the RBs on HurrayTitans! (354 yards from scrimmage to 68), as we ultimately thoroughly dominated them at the position, 47.4 points to 18.8.
HurrayTitans!
Unless HurrayTitans! wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough chances" isn't really a viable excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 18 targets in Week 6. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group tallied just 10 receptions.
