Coach Talk

Nana Nancy
You know, football is all about spotting (and then exploiting) the mismatches. Thanks to good numbers from our ball-carriers, our team certainly made that a point of emphasis this past week. We almost tripled Randy Ableman at running back (17.4 points to 6.3). With 93 total yards and a TD, Miles Sanders did most of the damage, while D'Onta Foreman sprinkled in some extra goodness with 21 yards.
Randy Ableman
Well, we can't really whine about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively got a hearty 28 targets in Week 9. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they pulled down only 16 receptions.
