Coach Talk

Hill Be Open
Football is all about creating mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by tripling BarkleyUpDaWrongTree at the wide receiver position (39.8 points to 11.4).
BarkleyUpDaWrongTree
Well, we certainly can't whine about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively got a respectable 21 targets in Week 9. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group recorded just nine catches.
