Coach Talk

Prolific
Sure, we ultimately earned the win, but there's not really any other way to put it, Prolific. Our running backs were utterly outmatched this past week. David Johnson (three yards from scrimmage, no TDs) logged just 6 points in Week 8, while the starting backfield for Chico's Bail Bonds showed us how it's supposed to be done by putting up a score of 35. Let's put some extra effort into scouting these upcoming defenses!
Chico's Bail Bonds
Welp, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 29 times in Week 8. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group reeled in only 16 balls.
