Coach Talk

Folk it
Active between the 20's: The six offensive position starters (three RBs, two WRs, one TE) on Folk it combined to register a healthy 511 total yards. None of those starters was able to score a touchdown in Week 8.
Wentzsylvania
Whoa now, talk about old-school ground n' pound. The starting backfield for Wentzsylvania collectively registered just one measly target this past week. Tell those offensive coordinators to dial up a screen play or two in Week 9!
