Coach Talk

Kush Gordon
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? Along with doubling up Hardy Headbussaz at RB (26.9 points to 12), we also doubled them at QB (20.96 to 8.58).
Hardy Headbussaz
"Not getting many looks" is definitely not a reasonable excuse this week for Hardy Headbussaz. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 36 times in Week 4. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group reeled in only 21 receptions.
