Coach Talk

The Paper Curtain
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? Fueled by a awesome outing from Tom Brady, we thoroughly outplayed Canadian Pharmacy at the quarterback position this past week (32.62 points to 8.98). Brady went 27-for-43 for 358 yards, three TDs, and no INTs in a 34-33 loss to the Dolphins.
Canadian Pharmacy
There's a real possibility that Canadian Pharmacy would be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing just 11 targets as a group this past week, their three starting pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
