Coach Talk

La Good La Bad Tugly
You know, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. With great performances by Derrick Henry and Jonathan Taylor, our team certainly took that to heart this past week. We doubled TheNewGuy up at the running back spot (67.7 points to 31.3). Henry had 222 total yards and two TDs, while Taylor logged 165 yards and two scores.
TheNewGuy
TheNewGuy may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively received a healthy 21 targets in Week 14. With only 10 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
