Coach Talk

C the Priest
Creating mismatches is a huge key to success in football. Thanks to stout performances by Austin Ekeler and Joe Mixon, our crew definitely took that to heart this past week. We doubled IBLEEDREDANDWHITE up at the running back position (845 points to 339). Ekeler had 94 total yards while Mixon chipped in with 83 yards.
IBLEEDREDANDWHITE
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively got a hearty 35 targets in Week 2. With just 21 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
