Coach Talk

Kookz
Hey, this sport is all about creating mismatches, right? Thanks to some stellar yardage production from our running backs, our team created a big disparity this week. Our backfield logged 227 more total yards than the RBs on Cowboy (343 yards from scrimmage to 116), as we ultimately royally dominated them at the position (53.3 points to 14.6).
Cowboy
Unless Cowboy wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough looks" is not an excuse this week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 21 targets in Week 5. With just 12 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
