Coach Talk

Jeff's Unbelievable Team
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? Fueled by some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team created a big disparity this week. Our three starting backs put up 218 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs on Rhodes to LA (324 total yards to 106), as we ultimately doubled up them at the position (63.56 points to 25.6).
Rhodes to LA
Unless Rhodes to LA wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough chances" can't be a viable excuse this week. Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 35 times in Week 5. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group notched just 19 catches.
