Coach Talk

Knight Train
Football is all about creating mismatches. With good production out of our ball-carriers, our squad certainly made that a point of emphasis this past week. We doubled Outsiderz up at running back (37 points to 18.3). Derrick Henry (191 total yards and two TDs) did most of the heavy lifting, while Ty Johnson chipped in with 19 yards.
Outsiderz
Welp, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 38 times in Week 10. With just 22 total receptions, that group may have some chemistry issues.
