Coach Talk

d.s. saints
Identifying mismatches is a big component to winning in football. We really took that to heart this week by soundly outplaying vipers at the wide receiver position (53.3 points to 8.8).
vipers
So, vipers, did your wideouts drop too many balls in practice or something? Seeing only nine total targets in Week 10, our three wide receivers clearly need to get the attention of their respective QBs this week in practice.
