Coach Talk

Them Hanover Hittahz
Hey, this sport is all about spotting the mismatches. Fueled by solid performances by Ezekiel Elliott and Chris Carson, our team made that a point of emphasis this past week. We absolutely dominated Ottis Anderson at the running back position (64 points to 8.2). Elliott had 160 total yards and two TDs, while Carson logged 137 yards and two scores.
Ottis Anderson
Unless Ottis Anderson wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many opportunities" isn't really an excuse this week. As a group, our three wide receivers combined to get a grand total of 26 targets in Week 15. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they reeled in just 16 balls.
