Coach Talk

Pats Nation
Identifying mismatches is a big component to winning in football. With good production out of our ball-carriers, our squad certainly took that to heart this past week. We doubled Rick James up at running back (38.5 points to 17.1). With 139 total yards and three TDs, Josh Jacobs did most of the damage, while Saquon Barkley chipped in with 66 yards.
Rick James
Ugh, talk about under-utilized. The starting backfield for Rick James collectively recorded only four targets this past week. Tell those offensive coordinators to set up some screen plays in Week 2!
