Coach Talk

The Big Breesy
Spotting mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Thanks to great performances by David Johnson and Todd Gurley II, our crew definitely made that a point of emphasis this past week. We tripled FIRSTorLAST up at running back (76.25 points to 23.25). Johnson had 183 total yards and two TDs, while Gurley II logged 160 yards.
FIRSTorLAST
Ugh, talk about old-school ground n' pound. As a group, the starting backfield for FIRSTorLAST collectively logged only three targets this past week. Instruct those offensive coordinators to dial up a couple of screen plays in Week 11!
