Coach Talk

MrAwesome'sMoMo's
You know, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to a awesome showing by Matt Ryan, we thoroughly outplayed Nu' Yawk Giants at the quarterback position this past week (55.1 points to 21.4). Ryan was a bright spot in a loss to the Saints, hitting 26 of 35 passes for 374 yards and five TDs.
Nu' Yawk Giants
There's a chance that Nu' Yawk Giants could be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating only 20 targets as a group in Week 3, their five starting pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) apparently contributed primarily by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
