Coach Talk

JABarcher
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. Fueled by some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team created a big disparity this week. Our three starting backs recorded 100 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs on Sandbagging (221 total yards to 121), and we wound up doubling up them at the position (40.1 points to 18.1).
Sandbagging
Welp, we certainly can't whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 24 times in Week 8. With just 11 total receptions, this group may have some chemistry issues.
