Coach Talk

Runnin' Rebs
Sure, we ultimately earned the win, but we can't deny it, Runnin' Rebs. Our starting running backs were significantly outplayed this past week. Aaron Jones (53 total yards, no TDs) logged only 14.1 points in Week 9, and the starting backfield for DavBre Team doubled us up with a score of 32.1. Let's work with the O-line to find some more holes in Week 10!
DavBre Team
Unless DavBre Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough chances" won't cut it as an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and two TE) were targeted a healthy 44 times in Week 9. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they reeled in only 21 catches.
