Coach Talk

Red's Thug Life
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by almost tripling Team kirk at the wide receiver position (33.8 points to 11.5).
Team kirk
Hey, Team kirk, what did your wideouts do to get written out of their teams' game plans this week? Accumulating just seven total targets this past week, our three wide receivers obviously need to get the attention of their respective QBs this week in practice.
