Coach Talk

Sharks
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? Thanks to some stellar yardage production from our running backs, our team certainly made that happen this week. Our backfield logged 165 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs of Pai Mei (223 total yards to 58), as we ultimately utterly dominated them at the position, 120.73 points to 34.13.
Pai Mei
Well, we certainly can't whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 38 targets in Week 6. With just 23 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
