Coach Talk

YOUalreadyKNOWsuckas
Football is all about identifying the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by thoroughly outplaying Sprint Right Option at the wide receiver position (30.1 points to 11.2).
Sprint Right Option
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 21 targets in Week 6. With just 11 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
