Coach Talk

Royal Pita
You know, football is all about spotting the mismatches. Thanks to stellar performances by David Montgomery and Nick Chubb, our squad definitely took that to heart this past week. We doubled Eponas up at the running back position (22.6 points to 10.2). Montgomery had 87 total yards and a TD, while Chubb chipped in with 79 yards.
Eponas
Well, we can't really whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) combined to receive a healthy 25 targets in Week 13. With just 14 total receptions, this group may have some chemistry issues.
