Coach Talk

My Ball Zach Ertz
The key to success in football is taking advantage of the mismatches. With good production from the backfield, our squad certainly made that a point of emphasis this past week. We thoroughly outscored Philly Phreaks at running back (26.4 points to 5.8). J.D. McKissic had 82 yards from scrimmage while Tony Pollard chipped in with 58 yards.
Philly Phreaks
Philly Phreaks may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our five pass-catchers (three WR, two TE) were targeted a grand total of 33 times in Week 9. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they tallied just 20 receptions.
