Coach Talk
RIch's Dandy Team
Hey, football is all about spotting the mismatches. With good numbers out of the backfield, our team definitely made that a point of emphasis this past week. We doubled NYGiants up at running back (33.2 points to 16.5). Saquon Barkley did most of the damage (143 total yards and two TDs), while Melvin Gordon III chipped in with 64 yards.
NYGiants
Unless NYGiants wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough looks" is definitely not an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) combined to get a whopping 21 targets in Week 15. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group managed only 12 receptions.
