Coach Talk

Hard Targets
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? Fueled by some stellar yardage production from our ball-carriers, our team certainly made that happen this week. Our backfield tallied 95 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs on Roughnecks (220 total yards to 125), and we wound up doubling up them at the position (43 points to 18.5).
Roughnecks
Hey, our guys were just resting up for Week 14, right? The eight starting offensive skill players (four WRs, three RBs, one TE) on Roughnecks collectively put up 423 yards and just three touchdowns in Week 13. Our opposition's skill players made it tough on us by logging 650 yards and five scores.
