Coach Talk

Fantastic Mr. Fox
A big key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. Fueled by some stellar yardage production from our ball-carriers, our team really made that happen this week. Our three backfield starters logged 291 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs of Anthropomorphic Milk (461 total yards to 170), and we wound up doubling up them at the position (62.1 points to 29).
Anthropomorphic Milk
Unless Anthropomorphic Milk wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough chances" is not an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) collectively saw a whopping 25 targets in Week 4. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group tallied just 15 receptions.
