Coach Talk

The Phantom Limbs
This sport is all about creating mismatches. With solid numbers from our ball-carriers, our crew definitely made that a point of emphasis this past week. We doubled The Comeback Kid up at running back (19.4 points to 9.5). Tevin Coleman had 49 total yards and a TD, while Sony Michel chipped in with 85 yards.
The Comeback Kid
Matt Ryan tossed one interception and literally no touchdowns? It may be that thankful time of year, but we're having a lot of trouble being grateful for that sort of performance.
