Coach Talk

Bam! Bam!
Hey, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. With stout performances by Christian McCaffrey and David Johnson, our squad certainly took that to heart this past week. We doubled Comeback Kid up at the running back spot (74.1 points to 34.8). McCaffrey did most of the heavy lifting (237 total yards and three TDs), while Johnson chipped in with 156 yards.
Comeback Kid
Unless Comeback Kid wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many chances" is definitely not an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) combined to receive a grand total of 33 targets in Week 5. With only 19 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
