Coach Talk

Boogie's Knights
A big key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to solid performances by Najee Harris and Alvin Kamara, our crew definitely took that to heart this past week. We nearly quadrupled #22SAVAGE at the running back spot (37.6 points to 9.5). Harris had 120 total yards and a TD, while Kamara logged 76 yards.
#22SAVAGE
Hey, at least there were no celebration penalties: The seven starting offensive position players (three WRs, two RBs, two TEs) on #22SAVAGE combined to register a healthy 463 total yards. None of those starters, unfortunately, was able to score a touchdown in Week 8.
