Coach Talk

Hide and Zeke
Spotting mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Thanks to great numbers from our ball-carriers, our team definitely made that a point of emphasis this past week. We doubled Jimmy Gone Johnsons up at the running back spot (43.1 points to 17.6). Joe Mixon had 138 total yards and a TD, while Jaylen Samuels chipped in with 92 yards.
Jimmy Gone Johnsons
"Not getting many chances" won't be a valid excuse this week for Jimmy Gone Johnsons. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 30 times in Week 14. With only 18 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
