Coach Talk

Professor Chaos
Identifying mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. Fueled by stellar performances by Nick Chubb and Najee Harris, our squad certainly made that a point of emphasis this past week. We tripled Goldmine πŸ’£πŸ’°πŸ’£ up at running back (50.2 points to 14.7). Chubb had 170 total yards and a TD, while Harris logged 142 yards.
Goldmine πŸ’£πŸ’°πŸ’£
Goldmine πŸ’£πŸ’°πŸ’£ will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 29 times in Week 5. Chemistry appears to be a problem, as that group hauled in just 15 catches.
