Coach Talk

Black Hyenas
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. Thanks to stout performances by Nick Chubb and Ezekiel Elliott, our team definitely took that to heart this past week. We doubled Dawgman up at running back (45 points to 22). Chubb had 164 total yards and a TD, while Elliott chipped in with 126 yards.
Dawgman
Unless Dawgman wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 17 times in Week 12. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group notched just nine receptions.
