Coach Talk

Mosi's Moose's
This sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Chucky at the wide receiver position (37.45 points to 16.45).
Chucky
Welp, we certainly can't gripe about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 18 targets in Week 9. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group tallied just nine receptions.
