Coach Talk

No Mercy
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, No Mercy! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve. Our starting running backs were utterly outplayed by the opposition. Jerick McKinnon (five yards from scrimmage, no TDs) and Tony Pollard (32 yards, no TDs) combined for just 16.28 points in Week 5. Jonathan Taylor and Derrick Henry nearly tripled us up with a score of 46.9. Let's bounce back with a big statement in Week 6!
Seahawks in 2020
Hey now, talk about old-school ground n' pound: The starting RBs for Seahawks in 2020 collectively logged just three receptions on five targets this past week. Instruct those quarterbacks to check down a little more often in Week 6!
