Coach Talk

slackers
Earning the win is most important, slackers, but we've also identified one spot where we should improve as a team. Our starting running backs were utterly outmatched this past week. Our backfield produced only 10 points in Week 9. Michael Carter and Christian McCaffrey doubled us up with a score of 22. Let's put some more effort into studying those playbooks!
Satan's Soldiers
All of the cake, none of the icing: The six starting offensive skill players on Satan's Soldiers (three WRs, two RBs, one TE) combined to record a healthy 405 yards from scrimmage. None of those starters was able to score a touchdown in Week 9.
