Coach Talk

Cowboy Chip
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? With great performances by Christian McCaffrey and Le'Veon Bell, our squad took that to heart this past week. We tripled MARTIANS up at the running back position (65 points to 21). McCaffrey had 209 total yards and two TDs, while Bell logged 92 yards.
MARTIANS
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively got a healthy 34 targets in Week 1. With just 19 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
