Coach Talk

Leatherheads
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? With solid numbers out of the backfield, our crew definitely made that a point of emphasis this past week. We doubled DILLIGAF up at running back (27.9 points to 13.1). Saquon Barkley had 120 total yards and a TD, while Nick Chubb chipped in with 99 yards.
DILLIGAF
Wow, talk about under-utilized. The starting RBs for DILLIGAF collectively registered only a couple of targets this past week. Instruct those quarterbacks to check down a little more often in Week 16!
