Flying Squirrels
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Flying Squirrels! Having said that, if we want to take our performance to the next level, then we have found an area to improve... our starting running backs were severely outmatched this past week. Devonta Freeman (25 yards from scrimmage, no TDs) and LeSean McCoy (76 yards, no TDs) combined for just 14.1 points in Week 7. Kerryon Johnson and Dalvin Cook doubled us up with a score of 30.2. Let's work with the O-line to find some more holes in Week 8!
Top Gun
Wow, talk about under-utilized: The starting RBs for Top Gun collectively recorded only one catch on three measly targets this past week. Tell those quarterbacks to check down a little more often in Week 8!
