Coach Talk

Top Gun
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? With solid performances by Dalvin Cook and Kerryon Johnson, our team definitely took that to heart this past week. We utterly dominated amy's Amazing Team at the running back spot (44.9 points to 17). Cook had 191 total yards and a TD, while Johnson logged 88 yards.
amy's Amazing Team
Well, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a whopping 22 times in Week 2. With only 11 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
