Coach Talk

Runninwiththerookies
Hey, the key to football is spotting (and then exploiting) the mismatches. Thanks to great performances by Jonathan Taylor and Clyde Edwards-Helaire, our crew definitely took that to heart this past week. We doubled Cameron's Team up at the running back spot (28 points to 11.5). Taylor had 110 total yards and a TD, while Edwards-Helaire chipped in with 70 yards.
Cameron's Team
Unless Cameron's Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many looks" won't cut it as an excuse this time around. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 39 times in Week 2. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group reeled in only 21 receptions.
