Coach Talk

Captain Hindsight
Football is all about identifying the mismatches. With good numbers out of the backfield, our team certainly made that a point of emphasis this past week. We doubled Owen Sixteen up at the running back spot (24.3 points to 10.7). Chris Carson had 109 total yards and a TD, while Devonta Freeman chipped in with 64 yards.
Owen Sixteen
Only one field goal on four attempts? Sounds like Adam Vinatieri might have just kicked himself back into the free agent pool following this effort.
