Coach Talk

Rebellion
This sport is all about creating mismatches. Not only did we double up Hrustin Cowboys at WR (56.4 points to 23.9), we also utterly dominated them at QB (38.92 points to 3.84).
Hrustin Cowboys
Well, we can't really gripe about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 23 times in Week 11. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group recorded just 11 catches.
