Coach Talk

V for ...
Hey, this sport is all about recognizing the mismatches, right? With solid performances by Derrick Henry and Adrian Peterson, our squad certainly took that to heart this past week. We nearly quadrupled Desert Eagles at running back (49 points to 13). Henry had 264 total yards and two TDs, while Peterson logged 58 yards.
Desert Eagles
"Not seeing enough opportunities" really isn't an excuse this week for Desert Eagles. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 22 times in Week 6. With only 13 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
