Coach Talk

How's the slot?
Hey, football is all about creating mismatches, right? With stout performances by Miles Sanders and Nick Chubb, our squad certainly took that to heart this past week. We tripled ShoNuff up at the running back spot (83.9 points to 27.6). Sanders had 172 total yards and two TDs, while Chubb logged 148 yards.
ShoNuff
ShoNuff will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 33 targets in Week 15. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group reeled in just 19 receptions.
