Coach Talk

tonglin8015
Spotting mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Thanks to good production from the backfield, our squad certainly made that a point of emphasis this past week. We doubled Panda up at running back (19.2 points to 9.4). Christian McCaffrey had 93 total yards and a TD, while Alvin Kamara chipped in with 39 yards.

Welp, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 21 targets in Week 5. With just 12 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
