Coach Talk

Snod Rats
You know, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. With good production out of the backfield, our crew certainly made that a point of emphasis this past week. We doubled The Texas Headhunter up at the running back position (26.1 points to 11.9). With 109 total yards and two TDs, Jamaal Williams did most of the heavy lifting, while Javonte Williams sprinkled on some extra goodness with 27 yards.
The Texas Headhunter
Well, we can't really whine about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 22 times in Week 4. With just 13 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
