Coach Talk

Pillage & Plunder
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? Fueled by great performances by Joe Mixon and Chris Carson, our squad took that to heart this past week. We thoroughly outplayed THE CIRCLE at the running back position (61 points to 8). Mixon had 130 total yards and two TDs, while Carson logged 148 yards.
THE CIRCLE
Unless THE CIRCLE wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many chances" won't cut it as an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 23 times in Week 15. With just 13 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
