Coach Talk

Diamond Dameon Pierce
Football is all about identifying the mismatches. With stellar performances by Travis Etienne Jr. and Dameon Pierce, our squad took that to heart this past week. We thoroughly outscored AVD at running back (45.5 points to 8.9). Etienne Jr. had 126 total yards and two TDs, while Pierce chipped in with 139 yards.
AVD
Recording just a couple of targets this past week, it appears that the starting RBs for AVD should remind their QBs to check down more frequently (and dial up a screen play or two).
