Coach Talk

Hot Hands
You know, the key to football is taking advantage of the mismatches. Fueled by stout numbers from our ball-carriers, our squad definitely made that a point of emphasis this past week. We almost tripled Wentz Upon A Time at the running back position (38.1 points to 13.8). J.D. McKissic had 107 total yards and a TD, while Alvin Kamara logged 94 yards.
Wentz Upon A Time
With four catches on just five targets this past week, the starting running backs for Wentz Upon A Time should remind their QBs to dump it off more frequently (and dial up a screen play or two).
