Coach Talk

Riley's Rad Team
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? Thanks to solid performances by Chris Carson and Kareem Hunt, our crew definitely made that a point of emphasis this past week. We absolutely dominated Oakland traiders at the running back spot (38.8 points to 6.2). Carson (137 total yards and two TDs) did most of the heavy lifting, while Hunt chipped in with 76 yards.
Oakland traiders
Oakland traiders may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 31 times in Week 15. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they pulled down only 17 receptions.
