Coach Talk

Ezekiel 2517
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? Fueled by stellar performances by Ezekiel Elliott and Mark Ingram II, our crew took that to heart this past week. We doubled #MenToo up at running back (50.6 points to 22.5). Elliott had 160 total yards and two TDs, while Ingram II logged 86 yards and two scores.
#MenToo
Ugh, talk about under-utilized. The starting backfield for #MenToo collectively logged only a couple of catches on five targets this past week.
