Coach Talk

ROCK-n-REDRAIDERS
Creating mismatches is a big key to success in football. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Fatback and Greens at the wide receiver position (25 points to 12).
Fatback and Greens
Fatback and Greens may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 25 times in Week 6. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they tallied only 13 receptions.
