Coach Talk

Tachov Argonauts
Hey, the key to football is taking advantage of the mismatches. Fueled by stellar performances by James Robinson and Austin Ekeler, our crew took that to heart this past week. We doubled Hrustin Cowboys up at running back (53.7 points to 23.9). Robinson had 129 total yards and two TDs, while Ekeler logged 143 yards.
Hrustin Cowboys
Unless Hrustin Cowboys wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many looks" isn't really an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively received a grand total of 27 targets in Week 3. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group reeled in just 15 receptions.
