Coach Talk

Vick's Electric Dogs
Hey, football is all about taking advantage of the mismatches, right? Fueled by solid numbers out of our ball-carriers, our crew made that a point of emphasis this past week. We nearly tripled Kuntduster at running back (29 points to 10). Mark Ingram II had 86 total yards and two TDs, while Kareem Hunt chipped in with 76 yards.
Kuntduster
With just three catches on five targets this past week, the starting RBs for Kuntduster clearly should smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to check down more often.
