Coach Talk

The Henny Whisperer
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? Thanks to some stellar yardage production from our ball-carriers, our team really made that happen this week. Our three backfield starters recorded 218 more total yards than the RBs on The Brady Bunch (470 yards from scrimmage to 252), and we wound up tripling them at the position, 96.5 points to 28.7.
The Brady Bunch
Well, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) combined to receive a respectable 27 targets in Week 2. With just 12 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
