Coach Talk

Scott's Team
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? Fueled by some stellar yardage production from our running backs, our team created a big disparity this week. Our three starting backs recorded 183 more total yards than the RBs on Prince of Helaire (388 yards from scrimmage to 205), and we wound up doubling up them at the position, 65.8 points to 31.5.

Your starting QB tossed one interception and no touchdowns? It might be wise to go back and review the game tape: Was Joe Burrow actually that shaky in the pocket, or was the Ravens secondary just that strong against the pass? What do you think, Prince of Helaire, do we continue to start him with confidence?
