Coach Talk

Bridge Over Troubled Water
Spotting mismatches is a huge key to success in football. With solid performances by Joe Mixon and Jonathan Taylor, our team certainly took that to heart this past week. We quadrupled the last dance at running back (54.6 points to 13.6). Mixon had 150 total yards and a TD, while Taylor chipped in with 116 yards.
the last dance
Well, we certainly can't whine about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) combined to see a grand total of 30 targets in Week 1. Chemistry appears to be a problem, as that group recorded just 15 catches.
