Coach Talk

Nightmares
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. Thanks to some stellar yardage production from our running backs, our team certainly made that happen this week. Our three starting backs recorded 90 more total yards than the RBs of Blue Falcons (186 yards from scrimmage to 96), as we ultimately doubled up them at the position, 28.6 points to 11.6.
Blue Falcons
Unless Blue Falcons wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough opportunities" cannot be an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, two TE) were targeted a hearty 24 times in Week 12. With only 14 total catches, this group may have some chemistry issues.
