Coach Talk

BEAST MODE
Spotting mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. Thanks to solid performances by Nick Chubb and Ezekiel Elliott, our squad certainly took that to heart this past week. We tripled G’s up at running back (51 points to 17). Chubb had 133 total yards and two TDs, while Elliott logged 122 yards.
G’s
Unless G’s wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many looks" won't cut it as an excuse this week. Our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 34 times in Week 2. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they pulled down only 19 catches.
