Coach Talk

Funky Town
The key to success in football is creating mismatches. Thanks to stellar performances by Dalvin Cook and Melvin Gordon III, our team certainly took that to heart this past week. We royally dominated SilaZbica at the running back position (33.4 points to 12.8). Cook had 48 total yards and two TDs, while Gordon III logged 86 yards.
SilaZbica
Unless SilaZbica wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many opportunities" is not a reasonable excuse this week. Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 41 times in Week 1. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group reeled in only 24 catches.
