Coach Talk

Warm Bodies
Hey, the key to football is finding the mismatches. Thanks to stout performances by James White and Ezekiel Elliott, our crew certainly made that a point of emphasis this past week. We utterly dominated Steel Reign at running back (43.5 points to 12.3). White had 103 total yards and two TDs, while Elliott chipped in with 112 yards.
Steel Reign
Unless Steel Reign wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many looks" cannot be an excuse this week. As a group, our six pass-catchers (four WR, two TE) were targeted a grand total of 36 times in Week 9. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group hauled in only 19 receptions.
