Coach Talk

No Mercy
Earning the win is most important, No Mercy, but we do know of one spot where we can improve as a team. Our running backs were soundly outplayed this past week. Jerick McKinnon (97 yards from scrimmage, one TD) logged only 30.75 points in Week 4. Latavius Murray and Dalvin Cook doubled us up with a score of 65.6. We need to bounce back with a big statement in Week 5!
Gringo's Team
Posting three catches on only four measly targets this past week, it seems like the starting running backs for Gringo's Team should look into why their quarterbacks are giving them the silent treatment.
