Coach Talk

eric's Team
Spotting mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Fueled by stellar performances by Derrick Henry and Myles Gaskin, our team made that a point of emphasis this past week. We doubled Up where we belong up at running back (23.8 points to 9.7). With 144 yards from scrimmage, Henry did most of the heavy lifting, while Gaskin chipped in with 74 yards.
Up where we belong
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 23 times in Week 3. With just 14 total catches, that group may have some chemistry issues.
