Coach Talk

Slap The Chef
You know, the key to football is spotting the mismatches. Thanks to good performances by Derrick Henry and Ezekiel Elliott, our crew definitely made that a point of emphasis this past week. We royally dominated REAPERS at running back (37.4 points to 14.6). With 191 total yards and two TDs, Henry did most of the damage, while Elliott chipped in with 63 yards.
REAPERS
"Not seeing many opportunities" isn't a valid excuse this week for REAPERS. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 43 targets in Week 10. With only 26 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
