Coach Talk
The Commodores
This sport is all about creating mismatches. With good numbers from our ball-carriers, our crew definitely made that a point of emphasis this past week. We tripled Raider4life up at running back (31.3 points to 10.3). Christian McCaffrey did most of the heavy lifting (166 total yards and three TDs), while T.J. Yeldon logged zero yards.
Raider4life
"Not getting enough opportunities" isn't a reasonable excuse this week for Raider4life. As a group, our five pass-catchers (three WR, two TE) were targeted a grand total of 37 times in Week 9. With only 22 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
