Coach Talk

ClemmonsSteelers2
Hey, the key to football is uncovering the mismatches, right? With some stellar yardage production from our running backs, our team created a big disparity this week. Our three backfield starters logged 222 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs on WARRIORS (367 total yards to 145), and we wound up royally dominating them at the position (54.7 points to 20.5).
WARRIORS
Unless WARRIORS wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough opportunities" is not an excuse this time around. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 34 targets in Week 1. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group managed only 19 catches.
