Coach Talk

Heisenberg
Hey, the key to football is spotting (and then exploiting) the mismatches. Thanks to solid numbers from our ball-carriers, our crew certainly made that a point of emphasis this past week. We thoroughly outscored The Boss at the running back spot (35.26 points to 7). Derrick Henry had 136 total yards and two TDs, while Matt Breida logged 29 yards.
The Boss
The Boss will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 25 targets in Week 11. With only 15 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
