Coach Talk

Havoc
A big key to success in football is identifying the mismatches. With some stellar yardage production from our running backs, our team created a noticeable disparity this week. Our three backfield starters put up 204 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs on Dirty Dogs (307 total yards to 103), and we wound up utterly dominating them at the position (45.7 points to 17.3).
Dirty Dogs
Unless Dirty Dogs wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough looks" won't cut it as an excuse this time around. Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) collectively saw a healthy 34 targets in Week 9. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they recorded just 18 catches.
