Coach Talk

Vtown Rookie
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to a awesome performance by Drew Brees, we thoroughly outscored OC Destroyer's at the quarterback position this past week (50.5 points to 10.85). Brees orchestrated a Saints win over the Falcons, hitting 39 of 49 passes for 396 yards and three TDs.
OC Destroyer's
Welp, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) combined to see a grand total of 32 targets in Week 3. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group notched just 18 receptions.
