Coach Talk

Social Disease
Hey, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches, right? Thanks to solid performances by Saquon Barkley and Tarik Cohen, our team made that a point of emphasis this past week. We doubled Aussig Emptyheads up at the running back position (34.6 points to 14.8). Barkley (197 total yards and a TD) did most of the heavy lifting, while Cohen chipped in with 89 yards.
Aussig Emptyheads
"Not getting many chances" won't cut it as an excuse this week for Aussig Emptyheads. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 31 times in Week 14. With just 17 total receptions, that group may have some chemistry issues.
