Coach Talk

Arizona Mini Teeth
You know, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. With some monster yardage production from our running backs, our team certainly made that happen this week. Our three backfield starters logged 201 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs of Naperville Endgame (448 total yards to 247), as we ultimately doubled up them at the position, 57 points to 26.
Naperville Endgame
Unless Naperville Endgame wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many chances" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 25 times in Week 4. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group notched only 14 receptions.
