Coach Talk

Tds and Beer
Creating mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Fueled by stellar performances by Stefon Diggs and Mike Evans, our squad really took that to heart this past week. We doubled up Pulsechamber at wide receiver (40.2 points to 16.1). Diggs had 123 receiving yards while Evans chipped in with 59 yards.
Pulsechamber
Unless Pulsechamber wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough looks" is not a viable excuse this week. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 13 times in Week 4. With only six total receptions, that group may have some chemistry issues.
