Coach Talk

OPALNUTZ
Hey, creating mismatches is the key to football, right? Not only did we double up Squirrel Brawlers at WR (68.8 points to 32), we also doubled them at RB (56.1 to 24.6).
Squirrel Brawlers
Squirrel Brawlers may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) combined to receive a hearty 29 targets in Week 4. With just 17 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
