Coach Talk

Mike's Team
Identifying mismatches is a big key to success in football. Fueled by stellar production out of the backfield, our squad made that a point of emphasis this past week. We thoroughly outplayed Team Strong at running back (40.3 points to 3.9). Jordan Howard had 115 total yards and three TDs, while Derrick Henry chipped in with 108 yards.
Team Strong
Welp, we can't really gripe about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 22 times in Week 4. Chemistry appears to be the primary issue, as that group pulled down only 13 receptions.
